It is well-defined behaviour, so you can use the shorter expression. It might seem cryptic for a non-experienced developer, but regulars shouldn’t have problems in understanding it.
It might have some sense to use the longer form when explicitly treating
ias a number, and omitting it when it has some other logical meaning.
