serializeArray behavior not as expected.
http://jsfiddle.net/Bz4x4/7/
In the above example, I would expect an input field of type 'number' to be extracted as a number, but instead, I'm seeing it is converted to a String. While this is valid JSON format, it results in inaccurate typing of variables which is problematic when this data is then put into JSON (via JSON.stringify) and passed to the back end of an application I'm working on.
I tried using jQuery 1.9.1 and 1.11.1
I believe this is a bug, but would be interested in hearing why it is not a bug, and how I could preserve the type of the value otherwise.
