I don't understand what is going on here with 5.1
Anyone else get this?
This script
s='7' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='aa' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='na' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='nan' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='n' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='nb' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='v' print(tonumber(s), s)
s='va' print(tonumber(s), s)
