tamaki.mes.backup.compare.equalValues

Description

Compares two scalar values for equality with some tolerance for numbers:

• If both values are numeric, they are considered equal when isClose reports them close.
• Otherwise the function attempts to coerce both values to floats and compare them with isClose (so "1.0" and 1 compare equal).
• If coercion fails and the values are of different types, they are not equal.
• Otherwise standard equality (==) is used.

This function is intended for scalar values and does not compare lists or dictionaries well.
