$eql fails to output true when expected even though its result is interpreted as expected by $if.

Help says: returns true, if x equals y.  
but from "$eql(1,1)" expected "true", got "".  
From "$if($eql(1,1),true,false)" expected "true", got "true".

That from the following Export script:

```
Help says: $eql(x,y) returns true, if x equals y.
but from "$eql(1,1)" expected "true", got "".
From "$if($eql(1,1),true,false)" expected "true", got "true".
```
