> The BooleanUtils#toBoolean(String) works nicely for common boolean String notations.
> However there are many more boolean String notations such as 1/0, ja/nein etc... 
> I know this can be achieved via BooleanUtils#toBoolean(String,String,String), however it would be nice to have another Method that only matches the true case, so that invalid cases are automatically matched to false. 
> eg:
> BooleanUtils.toBoolean("1", "1")    = true
> BooleanUtils.toBoolean("foo", "1") = false
