Yes, I read that already. I know how to make it consistent with type
casting, but that is not my question.

In both cases, it is a comparison between a string and an integer.

The Manual says:
If the string starts with valid numeric data, this will be the value
used. Otherwise, the value will be 0 (zero).

Bot strings start with valid numeric data, so I still want to know why
one is true and the other is not.
