Numbers are treated as different types when run from editor than from release builds

Issue description

Exporting a project removes type information, causing floats to be treated as ints.

It is a severe concern that something can work in the editor version and not in an exported version. This would require me to re-check every change I make with the exported version.

Steps to reproduce

Given the following GDScript:

export(float) var something = 3
var other

func _ready():
  other = something / 8

When run from the editor, other will be 0.375. When run from an exported project, other will be 0.

Godot 3.2.x is not supported anymore, so please upgrade to 3.4.2 and check if the issue still occurs there.

Sounds similar to #42124
What if you declare the variable as export var something: float = 3 instead?

[shelbyd]

This behavior is the same in 3.4.2-stable.

If I add the type as an annotation as export var something: float = 3, then other is 0.375 in both the editor and exported project, as expected.

Confirmed in 3.5 beta 1, and I've checked and it wasn't fixed by #57851.
