Use #== in Conversion.boolean?
Use #== in Conversion.boolean?

On JRuby 9.0.1.0 this is a bit faster than using "is_a?":

    require 'benchmark/ips'

    input = false

    Benchmark.ips do |bench|
      bench.report 'is_a?' do
        input.is_a?(TrueClass) || input.is_a?(FalseClass)
      end

      bench.report '==' do
        input == true || input == false
      end

      bench.compare!
    end

This outputs:

On both MRI 2.2 and Rubinius 2.5.8 there's little to no difference
between these two methods.
