To be fair, the 'is' entry it doesn't say anything about what is 
interpreted 'as a string' explicitly - it just says 'literal strings of 
characters (delimited by double quotes)' - however as worded it is a 
little misleading.

All the comparison operator docs could do with some revision to make the 
actual behavior crystal clear :D

Warmest Regards,
