I think I have the problem nailed down to the fact that in the comparison:
something >= -1234
the parser in question separates the minus in the negative number into a
separate child node, apart from the digits; witness the errormessage in
the log below.
Changing the number -1234 in the arithmetic expression
tonumber("-1234") (mind the quotes) does give a correctly evaluated
expression.
Still, I am baffled by the fact that in arithmetic expressions positive
and negative numbers are treated differently in the filtering operation.
it's more that 'names' are intercepted .. can you test (lxml-lpt.lua)
with:
local lp_child = Cc("expr.child(ll,'") * R("az","AZ") *
R("az","AZ","--","__")^0 * Cc("')")

Here is a minimal example showing that even a number as -1 is not
correctly handled by the lpath[selection]-code.
I really am convinced that not handling negative numbers should
qualify as a mistake.
