field.Boolean doesn't convert 'truthy' strings to boolen

[mikeywaites]

field.Boolean should handle any 'truthy' value and when permitted, should process the value into its boolean value. IE when a string is set the field.Boolean should return True

class MyMapper(Mapper):
     activated = field.Boolean()

# scalar_sub_select will return an id which is a string rather than a Boolean scalar type.
>>> obj = query(Model, scalar_sub_select.label('activated')).first()

>>> MyMapper(obj=obj).serialize(objs)
>>> {'activated': 'asdasdsd'}

I believe this ticket it outdated now. The BooleanFieldOpts accepts a list of values that denote wether the value on session.data should be considered true or not.
