is,as,instanceofreturn expected results on literal values, but not when the same values are passed into a function and the type ops are applied to the function argument variables. NOTE: when testing with trace() be aware that Sprint 30 (and earlier?) contained a bug that caused trace to print all Booleans as true. This is resolved in SDK v1.1.2738 (and Sprint 31).
