Issue TAP5-1141 - if Object toString() returns null coercion to Boolean returns false

[Josh Canfield <jo...@gmail.com>]

I'm working on TAP5-1621, adding Object -> Boolean type coercer. There
is a unit test that specifically tests that toString() returning null
results in false. Introducing Object->Boolean breaks this because it
only returns false if the actual Object is false.

Does anyone care about supporting null from toString() in this way?

I would say that that would return true only if the string is
equalsIngoreCase "true" otherwise false... something along the line of
Boolean.valueOf()
