[Sc-devel] [approve] asBoolean

[Julian Rohrhuber <rohrhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So many times I've come across the choice to either use a true/false 
pair (i.e. I have to check if nil separately) or use the formula if(x 
!= true) ... (i.e. have no true inversion: (x == false) means 
something else than (x != true).not.

my suggestion: asBoolean

Object:asBoolean { ^true } // or false?
Nil:asBoolean { ^false }
Boolean:asBoolean { ^this }


then we write:

if(x.asBoolean) { ... }
