So how about implementing toBoolean as an overridable method, which is
called whenever !, || or && are used. This way an objec has three method
for converting it into a primitive; toString, toValue and toBoolean.

So how about implementing `toBoolean` as an overridable method, which is
called whenever `!`, `||` or `&&` are used. This way an object has three method
for converting it into a primitive; `toString`, `toValue` and `toBoolean`.
