Known type coercion rules:

* <c>null * 3 == #@!$</c> — Any statement that begins with `null` is a compiler error, but this may change in the future.
<c>(null)</c> is okay though.

* <c>3 * null == 0</c> — Multiplying by null yields <c>0</c>.

* <c>3 / null == Infinity</c> — In division, null acts a lot like <c>0</c>.

* <c>3 + "3" == "33"</c> — If an expression contains a string, the entire expression will be coerced into a string.

* <c>"3" * 5 == "33333"</c> — Multiplying a string by a number will replicate the string.

* <c>"1234" / 2 == "12"</c> — Dividing a string by a number will divide the length, then take a substring.

* <c>1/0 == "INF" | "Infinity"</c> — All numerical math is done according to standard IEEE floating-point rules, including well-defined behavior for Inf and NaN. However, conversion of Inf and NaN to a string is undefined (implementation-dependent).

Known type coercion rules:

`null * 3 == #@!$`
Any statement that begins with `null` is a compiler error, but this may change in the future.
`(null)` is okay though.

`3 * null == 0`
Multiplying by null yields 0.

`3 / null == Infinity`
In division, null acts a lot like `0`.

`3 + "3" == "33"`
If an expression contains a string, the entire expression will be coerced into a string.

`"3" * 5 == "33333`
Multiplying a string by a number will replicate the string.

`"1234" / 2 == "12"`
Dividing a string by a number will divide the length, then take a substring.

`1/0 == "INF" | "Infinity"`
The concept of infinity and negative infinity sort of exists, but isn't well-defined.
