Issues when using values `''` and `false`

[fiznool]

I have a bunch of items as so:

scope.items = [{
  label: '-- None Selected --',
  value: ''
}, {
  label: 'Yes',
  value: true
}, {
  label: 'No',
  value: false
}];

scope.model = '';

My HTML:

<ui-select ng-model="model">
  <ui-select-match>{{ $select.selected.label }}</ui-select-match>
  <ui-select-choices repeat="item.value as item in items track by item.value">{{ item.label }}</ui-select-choices>
</ui-select>

I'm expecting when the select box loads up to see the --None Selected-- item, since my model is set to the empty string, ''. However, due to this line using a double equals instead of a triple equals, the No item is actually displayed, since the formatter traverses from the end of the items array to the beginning, and when it finds the item with the false value, it compares false == '' which returns true.

Is there any historical reason why this is a double equals instead of a triple equals? Would you accept a PR which changes this to triple equals?

Can you post a reproduction via Plunker just for assistance with debugging for anyone who wants to look at this closer?

This does sound like an issue though.

Here is a plunkr showing the issue.

The suggested fix appears to work in plunkr, will also need a test though.

@fiznool can you put together a PR?
