This module provides a consistent interface for processing boolean or boolean-style string input.
⚫
While Lua allows the <code>true</code> and <code>false</code> boolean values, wikicode templates can only express boolean values through strings such as "1", "0", "yes", "no", etc.
⚫
This module processes these kinds of strings and turns them into boolean input for Lua to process.
⚫
It also returns <code>nil</code> values as <code>nil</code>, to allow for distinctions between <code>nil</code> and <code>false</code>.
⚫
The module also accepts other Lua structures as input, i.e. booleans, numbers, tables, and functions.
⚫
If it is passed input that it does not recognise as boolean or <code>nil</code>, it is possible to specify a default value to return.
