Without this fix the compiled version of elvis
actual behaved differently to the interpreted version
if the value being queried was an empty string. This
is now fixed. It also now correctly handles the
query value being a primitive and addresses the
findings of SPR-15192 where some type inferencing
logic was trying to be too clever, that code has
been deleted.
