> The boolean serialization is incorrect, as these new unit tests would indicate:
> {noformat}
> primitive_ok boolean => 0, "\x0";
> primitive_ok boolean => 1, "\x1";
> {noformat}
> When run they print:
> {noformat}
> #   Failed test 'primitive boolean encoded correctly'
> #   at t/02_bin_encode.t line 40.
> #          got: '30'
> #     expected: '00'
> #   Failed test 'primitive boolean encoded correctly'
> #   at t/02_bin_encode.t line 40.
> #          got: '31'
> #     expected: '01'
> {noformat}
> Secondly, when evaluating whether a 'boolean' branch should be taken in a union, the check for boolean-ness of the data is being done incorrectly, matching a regular expression against the wrong variable.
