Forcing string comparisons, or When is "0" not 0?

[Mike Kerner]

We have to be able to do better than "is really a".  If anything, "could be
a" and "is a" would be more helpful, where "is a" tells us what is going on
under the hood and "could be a" lets us know what we can do with the
container.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
