Status changed from Open to Feedback Assignee set to Yukihiro Matsumoto So many decisions in this seem completely arbitrary (and inconsistent), plus you don't give a use case, there's no way this would ever be accepted. I'd suggest you build your own hash of true/false values and use that. ---------------------------------------- Feature #11848: New #to_b method for String, Symbol, Numeric, NilClass, TrueClass and FalseClass. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/11848#change-55680 * Author: Fernando Hamasaki de Amorim * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- New ***to_b*** method converts **strings**, **symbols**, **numbers** and **nil** values in a **boolean** value. ***to_b*** method is available on ***String***, ***Symbol***, ***Numeric***, ***TrueClass***, ***FalseClass*** and ***NilClass*** classes. ## String Returns ***true*** if string is one of **t**, **true**, **on**, **y**, **yes** or **1** values.
