Well, that's not my question. I have a plpgsql function like that:

CREATE FUNCTION object_new(class TEXT, properties TEXT[])

which I call like

object_new('Car', ARRAY['color', 'red', 'new', 'true'])

That means set color to red and new to true. In the function I need to
call

object_set_boolean_property(object_id INT, property_name TEXT,
property_value BOOLEAN)

And I can't call it with a TEXT variable, because casting from TEXT to
BOOLEAN isn't possible.
