Re: what on earth..? equivalence (==) not working

I believe it does coerce types, but only on the C side, so if you're 
using the API, and there's a number there, and you call lua_tostring(), 
it will coerce it. I believe that's true for all types except for 
booleans, which have no real mappings to other types.
