I'd suggest having the existing PL_sv_no and PL_sv_yes constants be SVt_BOOL, and then any existing expression already yields those. `true` and `false` become new keywords that are just synonyms for !!1 and !!0 respectively. As to stringification, while it would be lovely to have them stringify to "true" and "false", that won't be possible without breaking basically eeeeeeverything. Which is a bit annoying. :/ -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
