Subject: [ruby-core:43510] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6180] to_b for converting objects to a boolean value


Issue #6180 has been updated by hasari (Hiro Asari).


Also, to_b is ambiguous. 'b' can stand for "bits", "bytes", "binary", just to name a few.

When a boolean return value is required it has become common practice is to use "!!" to convert the object. It would be more consistent to provide a "to_b" method on Object.
