Thanks for this RFC, Nikita! This is definitely a step in the right direction, and I can only hope it will pass.
One question:
(...) by using a number comparison only if the string is actually numeric. Otherwise the number is converted into a string, and a string comparison is performed.
Is there a reason to perform another comparison as a string, when the string is not numeric? I can’t think of a case where the string comparison would match.

Comparisons are not just about equality, they are also about ordering.
