That makes sense, though you would want a linter or something to check that callers are doing "=== false" and not "== false", since falsy (but not false) values would match the latter.

If you're using `==` in 2022 without testing or linting, this would be the least of your problems. Also, with the strict_types declaration, it wouldn't be coerced.

" == false" is sprinkled all over some pretty popular products, like Wordpress.
