Support for boolean pattern

Hi!

Would it possible to have support for boolean pattern? such as true or false converts it to boolean in a step pattern?

For instance:

@given("This is {condition:B}")
def example(step, condition:bool):
    pass

I am more than willing to implement this if this is an acceptable feature!

Actually, in Python 3 it doesn’t:

bool(‘true’) True bool(‘false’) True

Hmm well then, I have some buggy code somewhere then!

If it really is what you need I think I’ll merge a PR with the custom type - which still leaves the question what it should interpret: true, false, True, False, 0, 1, yes or no etc. ?

I would really only go for true TRUE True false FALSE False , really, any variants of true and false.

And I agree about the custom parser, but writing a custom parser for all the variants where we want to check a situation with a binary outcome to have it closer to English is a little tedious, it’s nothing impossible it’s just gonna be a lot of troubles and a source of bugs that we don’t really need.

I’ll be making a PR in the next days!

You should add on and off while you are at it.
