Comment (by ericlewis):

 It seems the original bug reported by this ticket is not a bug (see
 comment:13). I suggest we close this ticket as worksforme after tying up
 loose ends, as a few engaging points have been brought up.

 * @boonebgorges wrote a unit test to express that the original bug report
 is invalid. Was that intended as a prop for confirming the bug wasn't a
 bug, or should we consider merging that test?
 * There's some thought about using the `meta_type` do decide which numeric
 format to use when building the SQL query (@wonderboymusic's
 attachment:27272.2.diff which @gitlost has kept fresh). This is a separate
 issue from the original bug report, although related. We should consider
 using the type of the value passed in the meta query too for a good
 default that doesn't require a `type` parameter (basically what
 @boonebgorges suggested in comment:13). I've opened #36652 to that end.
 * @gitlost reported a bug in its own right in comment:14. @gitlost — can
 you create a separate ticket and outline the problem?
