Upstream fails to understand the side effects of overloading.
Overloading does not make all magic properties go away. For instance,
the following test fails, too:
use Test::More (tests => 1);
use JSON::XS ();
is_deeply(JSON::XS->new->decode('{"test":true}'), {test => 1});
1;
(If "true" turns into "1", I really expect this test to pass.)
I think this might be more helpful as a documentation:
"true" becomes JSON::XS::true (equals 1 numerically and as a
string), "false" becomes JSON::XS::false (equals 0) and "null"
becomes "undef".
I was specifically looking for something that turns JSON text into
non-blessed Perl objects, and I thought I had found something suitable
because "0" and "1" were explicitly mentioned in the documentation.
(I am aware that you need a mode which uses special references for
booleans to achieve round-trip compatibility.)
