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.

Do you have wiki access? If so, please post an RFC for this! You'd have my vote. =) I don't. If anyone can give it to me I will post an RFC :)
