Or maybe to specify string equivalence.

	string( "6. “) is not equal to string( "6.”)

where the function string() would tell LC not to try to convert the string into a number, but simply leave it as a literal string for comparison purposes.

Of course, another way to prevent LC from converting a textual number into an actual number is to append a string to the textual number:

whereas  "6. “  =  "6.”   returns TRUE
 "6. “ & “a” =  "6.” & “a”  returns FALSE.
