Versions 5.4 and 5.5 have same problem.
It is quite annoying to cast that is true or false to actually boolean type!

PHP 5.3.6 on Centos. Still not fixed, so I must explicitly cast to boolean in the 
code that reads the ini file.

Hrm, it also looks like there's a similar problem for integers -- they become integer strings,
so is_int() returns FALSE on them.

Why doesn't parse_ini_file() translate values to the appropriate type?
