Re: [CONCEPT][DISCUSSION] Instance as boolean

Hello Josh, > Link to working draft: https://bit.ly/php-0001 > <https://bit.ly/php-0001> From a type safety POV I'd prefer to have an interface available, the same way we did to the Stringable interface RFC. But I'd rather keep these engine affecting behaviors with the same magic method naming conventions and its __ prefix. So implements Bool + function __toBool() : bool is the only path that seems entirely consistent with what we already have. The draft doesn't mention (bool) casting behavior at the time I'm reading it, but you do mention the possibility. It seems necessary to me. Why wouldn't (bool) $my_bool_obj behave differently from (string) $my_stringable_obj? > > ps.
