This is the price of having a "type-less" programming language. "6.
By way of rehtoric, and by no means a suggestion of any change in the engine,
it might have been better if "is" did a strict string comparison, while "=" or
"is equal to" attempted a numerical type conversion, and reverted to a string
comparison if either arguement failed.

I think this is because the dot is also the decimal sign. Therefore it
interprets the strings as numerical values. And = and is are synonyms.
I guess if you write something like put «6» + «6» you will get 12 as the result.
