Issue: select values not compared strictly?

[sytzewesterdijk]

When my select has the values "02" and "2" and the user selects "02", the "2" is shown in the frontend. After looking into the situation, I discovered both values have the attribute "selected":

The select looks like:

return html()->select($code, $selectOptions, $value) ->attributes($selectAttributes) ->placeholder(trans('options.select')) ->class($this->fieldClass($options));

In the Select element class, is looks like a $value->contains() is done. I would expect this to be a strict comparison though?
