Well, it doesn't juust hold the double value, there's a bunch of other
stuff.  It's more of a proxy object, to represent some internal
structures that need passing around, but for backwards compatibility
with our previous scripting language functions which just returned
values, (we return objects now), we have to implement our own equality
operator to keep the scripts from failing.

So the main trunk should be as stable as RC6a? Great. I'll give it a
shot, thanks.
