Testing node.js console.log output string quoting

console_test.js

console.log('100', 'something');
console.log(100, 'something');
console.log(100, 'something', 'something else');
console.log(100 + ' something');
console.log('something', 100, 'something');

Running the above script displays the following output. Seems node.js will surround strings with quotes if the first argument to console.log is a number.

$ node test.js

100 something
100 'something'
100 'something' 'something else'
100 something
something 100 something

Thanks!

It seems to have the same behavior with a date object as the first argument, and it was driving me nuts. Tacking on a .toString() fixed it.
