Hi,
I suggest we add a function boolval(). It simply converts the given
argument to a boolean, like strval(), intval() and floatval(). I already
have an implementation ready[1].
Why?
* It is missing in the current list of *val()-functions and people
expect it to exist. I'd say it is an inconsistency.
* It can be used as a callback, which is why a bool-cast does not suffice.
