Comment (by deeptiboddapati):

 That ticket was really good to read. It helped me notice that the patch
 missed numeric strings such as '1' or '1.4'. In that ticket they used
 is_scalar but that returns true for 'apple' as well as '1'. I used
 is_numeric in this redone patch since it returns true for '1.36546' or '3'
 but not for '3rd' or 'apple'.
