> When specifying a default value for an optional struct member of the type bool the user now needs to enter a numeric value (0, or 1).  It would be nice if they could specify a symbolic value such as 'true' & 'false'
> Example thrift file:
> struct AtscStrmRecordRequestT {
>     1: optional bool bDoSomething = true,
>     2: required string whatever;
> }
> With current error
> {quote}
> $ /opt/thrift-0.6.0/compiler/cpp/thrift --gen cpp /rtmp/x.thrift 
> [ERROR:/rtmp/x.thrift:2] (last token was 'true')
> Cannot use reserved language keyword: "true"
> {quote}
