I'd agree any casts from booleans to strings are usually a bug in the appli=
cation=0A=
=0A=
Something I'd like to see in the rfc: What's the intended behavior (notices=
) of `sprintf('%s', false);` (functions internally casting to strings)=0A=
What about `echo true; print(false);`, etc.=0A=

Thanks,=0A=
