When a string representing a number is <SV..>ed or <SX..>ed, it is stored in a string of bytes in either case, but the representation Some way were the condition will be testable with an <IF..> statement. No human intervention allowed. I know of one XY3 way, but it's pretty kludgy and I don't know if it will work on XY4. If there is way to do it on XY4 with some newly introduced function, I'd like to know about that, but an Xy3 way to do it is what I'm really after.
