The original proposal was to include toBool functionality. Stas was
one who strongly opposed it which is one of the reasons that I removed
it.
However, if a convincing case can be made to add it in, and there's
enough buy in, I would love to see it added. My issue is that I don't
want the whole proposal rejected because of that one method... But
that's what a RFC process is for, so let's get discussing...
Thanks,
Anthony
