Yes. It seems like the appropriate behavior is to "cast" downward to the more restricted type. But that can be error prone (in many programming environments you will get an error when attempting to compare signed and unsigned types or a warning about "widened both operands"). Another approach would be to always use the key as the significant type and let the reference type be less specific... of course then you get into weird problems comparing "1.0" and "1"... maybe I see why you do it the way you do it... :) Thanks, Jeff Rafter
