I think the only name for this function, from which you can actually
understand what it does, is
bool(?:ean)?
as a context enforcer.
It's got the following properties:
- well known and accepted semantic meaning
- no associated action (it doesn't do anything)
- relatives (scalar, list, hash)
- it maps to '?', which is also the prefix to certain
operations, thus unambiguating further
As I see it 'so', 'whether', 'true', 'is', 'id', etc all have too
much english cargo, or are not exactly what it does.
The only one that I can see fitting here, as an action instead of a
context disambiguation is 'istrue', which takes an expr, and returns
a bool if expr is true.
