I think you have come up with the best syntax right there.

put 3 is "3" -- true
put 3 is "3.0" -- true
put 3 is 2.999999999999999 -- true

put 3 is exactly "3" -- false
put 3 is exactly "3.0" -- false
put "3" is exactly "3" -- true
put 3 is exactly 3 -- true
put 3 is exactly 3.0 -- true
put 3 is exactly 2.999999999999999 -- false
