Hey all, this is something that's come up again and again with various 
projects, and typecasting values from params as booleans.  This could be 
represented as a `to_bool` method added to the String class.  Also, 
possibly to Fixnum, and I'll explain why later.

I'm thinking the following values could be true:
"1", "true", "t", "y", "yes" (of course, case insensitive)

And the following values could be false:
"0", "false", "f", "n", "no" (again, case insensitive)

The reasoning for also including on Fixnum is to convert the 1/0 to 
true/false whether or not it's a string.

Any thoughts on this?  I couldn't find any notes or discussions in this 
forum or in the repo about this.  I have a branch ready to go, curious what 
the community thinks.
