Hi,
Is there an idiom to convert the symbol :true to object true (of TrueClass)?


Basically how can I better

  def  validate_the_message (sym_arg)
     @vtm =
     case sym_arg
     when  :true
        true
      when :false
        false
      else
         # do something else
      end
  end

(assume @vtm an instance variable holding the choice.)

TIA
