Hi Pierre,
I'm currently writing a patch to test the proposed ruleset, as BC is the key point.
If BC breaks are so massive that we have to revert to the original 'weak' mode, I will be
the first one to vote for dual-mode.
There will be two slightly different branches : one totally disabling (IS_LONG|IS_FLOAT|IS_STRING to
bool) and one implementing the current way of converting these (with the small modification about
numeric strings recognized as false). There may be a first level without support for trailing blanks
but it is not important as it is an extension of the current behavior, not a restriction.
More when something is ready.
Regards
François
