What is the difference of string? and stringlike? ?

[ghost]

I used string? and stringlike? at some examples:

"abc" string? puts ;true
 123   string? puts ;false

"abc" stringlike? puts ;true
 123   stringlike? puts ;false

They seem same. What is the difference of them?

stringlike? returns true for quoted symbols as well as strings:

 'test stringlike? ;true

Quoted symbols are commonly used kind of interchangeably with strings, in some cases.
