80% were in favor of this feature but it's also worth noting that only 20 people have voted. To avoid risking another rejection and thus the RFC being delayed for a year I'd rather move the feature to a different RFC. Also, the feature being included in the first draft was a rash decision in the first place (completely my fault). There are multiple ways to deal with the value comparison (e.g. do type coercion like the switch or type-error on a non-boolean value) but they haven't been discussed at all.
