-#------------------------------------
-# Why do we need util_ensure_numeric?
-#------------------------------------
-# awk appears to be guessing the type of an inputted scalar based on usage, so
-# if we read-in a number, but did not use it in any numeric operations, but did
-# use as a string (even in just a format string!) - it will be treated as a
-# string and can lead to REALLY SURPRISING behavior in conditional statements,
-# where smaller number may compare as greater than the bigger ones, such as.
-#
-# Demo:
-#
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; sprintf("x: %d, y: %d\n", x, y); if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
-# 75 < 100
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; sprintf("x: %s, y: %d\n", x, y); if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
-# 75 > 100
-
-# However, once used as a number, seems to stay that way even after being
-# used as string:
-#
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; x + y; sprintf("x: %s, y: %d\n", x, y); if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
-# 75 < 100
-# 
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; x + y; sprintf("x: %s, y: %d\n", x, y); z = x y; if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
-# 75 < 100
-# 
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; x + y; z = x y; if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
-# 75 < 100
-# $ awk 'BEGIN {x = "75"; y = "100"; z = x y; if (x > y) {print "75 > 100"} else if (x < y) {print "75 < 100"}}'
