Bug description: Casting During Comparison
Description:
------------
Casting during comparison should only happen if values of different types
are being compared.
For example: "42" == "+42" should not return true.
This result is not very intuitive and probably leads to a number of subtle
errors in various scripts.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo "Should Return False:".("400" == "+400")."<BR>";
echo "Should Return False:".((string) "400" == (string) "+400")."<BR>";
echo "Does Return False:".("400" === "+400")."<BR>";
?>
