Reading bool as the string "true" or "false"

[Ali Cehreli]

If the default behavior for dout.writefln is to print bool values as the "true" and "false" strings, then the opposite should be available and arguably be the default:

  // "true" and "false" should be acceptable inputs:
  bool b;
  din.readf(&b);

Am I wrong?

Thanks,
Ali

P.S. There hasn't been any responses to the same question that I asked at the .learn forum:
