Correct.  In Apache::Solr, I ended up building tables of fields and which
are boolean, to automatically translate Perl's concept of booleans into
Solr's URI parameters.

IMO Perl libraries should attempt to hide the typedness of interfaces...
JSON itself is on a too basic level to do it itself.  But interfaces
which transport their data via JSON could (should?) try to automate the
required conversions... often quite some work.
