in thread Converting quoted strings to numbers in array

Strings will only be automatically converted to numbers if they are plain integers.

Or decimals, or scientific notation, or "Inf". But not hex or 12_34 notation, or 0b..., and octal numbers (0123 == 83) won't be recognized as such ("0123" == 123).
