I have assigned this issue (bug 499) to myself. I plan to do the following:

1) Re-enable the BOOLEAN datatype by removing the parser short-circuit.

2) Re-enable the TRUE and FALSE literals.

3) Add appropriate unit tests.

Cheers,
-Rick

However, before someone undisables the lines identified by Jeff, I will mention that more work than meets the eye went into it - at least into adjusting the tests. . .


Of course any new feature should have tests written for it. I didn't mean that someone should hack out a line of code to enable a feature without writing tests for it.

Can't someone at IBM resurrect the tests for the boolean type? I would expect them to be accessible in whatever source code control system IBM uses. Or perhaps IBM considers the reinstatement of the disabled features to be against their interests.
