The original conception was for testing strings only, and the existing
"eq" operator in the expansion syntax does a string rather than a
numeric comparison. (This was copied from smail, which had only the eq
operator.) Adding numeric operators was already on the "old" wish list.
I have now added it to the "new" wish list, where I am recording the
identities of people who support specific items. Once the next release
of Exim is out, I may publish the new wish list for people to comment
on, but as previously mentioned, I do want to spend time working on
introductory documentation, the FAQ, etc.
