Describe the bug and the command you saw an issue with I was trying to push with a long string that can be cast as a number, but I wanted the string. Full example with README here

What happened The quoted variable was treated as a number and converted to scientific notation

Expected behavior For the quoted string to be treated as a string and not cast

To Reproduce please see the demo app: https://github.com/cf-platform-eng/cf-cli-test/tree/v0.0.1

It's not a pretty workaround, but cf push --var "value=\"01234567689.1234567890123\"" does create the correct output
