Okay, the evaluator *I* am talking about :) will evaluate a string using
Project.toBoolean(String) (if you want to evaluate another property use the
NestedPropertyExpander and go for it). So, very basically, what I currently
have is ${boolean:[on|yes|true]} evaluates to Boolean.TRUE.
Alternatives:
${boolean:true}
${toBoolean:true} //asymmetric to toString:ref
${isTrue:true}
${booleanValue:true}
...others?
