Subject: [ruby-core:120237] [Ruby master Feature#20882] Provide Boolean(...)

Issue #20882 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto).

Status changed from Open to Rejected

I don't think it works well in the Ruby ecosystem. Rejected (as previous proposals).

Matz.


----------------------------------------
Feature #20882: Provide Boolean(...)
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/20882#change-111005

* Author: getajobmike (Mike Perham)
* Status: Rejected
----------------------------------------
Ruby provides Integer(...) and Float(...) global methods to coerce values. Is there a similar method for Booleans?

I'd like to do something like:

```
# ENV["SOME_FEATURE"] is unset
Boolean(ENV["SOME_FEATURE"]) # => false

# ENV["SOME_FEATURE"] is unset, but allow a default?
Boolean(ENV["SOME_FEATURE"], true) # => true

# explicitly disable
ENV["SOME_FEATURE"] = "0"
Boolean(ENV["SOME_FEATURE"], true) # => false

# explicitly enable
ENV["SOME_FEATURE"] = "1"
Boolean(ENV["SOME_FEATURE"]) # => true
```
