best_attribute_type issue? "Numeric" strings with leading zeros...

GordonSmith opened this issue · comments

You can probably argue this both ways - but if a string contains a numeric, but has leading zeros then it should probably be treated as a string?

Examples:

  • British secret intelligence service agent assignations
  • FIPs codes

That is actually a good point, and you are probably right.

Change made in v1.4.2.
