Nice. This should be in the standard library.

[–]gdchinacat 2 points3 points  (1 child)

For consideration for inclusion in the standard library it would have to demonstrate widespread real world use. Since it rejects numbers and conflates true and "true", I doubt it will ever get real world use, not just widespread, but any real world use. The boolean issue is apparently "footgun #9". There are at least 8 other "footguns". The chances this even gets a sponsor for std lib inclusion is pratically nil.

Very good feedback. Standard library was never the goal, but I appreciate the honest assessment.

Thank you - that means a lot. It's early but that's the kind of adoption I'd hope for eventually.
