+This converts 'anything' to a boolean. In practise it does the following:
+
+* Strings such as Y,y,1,T,t,TRUE,yes,'true' will return true
+* Strings such as 0,F,f,N,n,FALSE,no,'false' will return false
+* Booleans will just return their original value
+* Number (or a string representation of a number) > 0 will return true, otherwise false
+* undef will return false
+* Anything else will return true
