Absolutely not. Strings are not, and must not be implicitly converted to, booleans. "True" is a perfectly valid last name, as is "Null". There are real people with these names. Software that treats these names as a boolean value and no value respectively is broken. -- Rainer Deyke (rainerd@eldwood.com)
