`parse(Bool, s::String3)` giving InexactError

[anandijain]

julia> using InlineStrings

julia> String3("0")
"0"

julia> parse(Bool, String3("0"))
ERROR: InexactError: Bool(10)

julia> parse(Bool, String(String3("0")))
false

is this expected to work? It was confusing hitting this when working with a DataFrame

This is a bug in Julia Base in my opinion.

Also to be covered:

julia> parse(Bool, "false")
false

julia> parse(Bool, String7("false"))
ERROR: InexactError: Bool(10)

@quinnj - how do you want to handle this. I think:

1. A PR to Base Julia should be made copying the implementation of

tryparse_internal(::Type{Bool}, sbuff::Union{String,SubString{String}}, startpos::Int, endpos::Int, base::Integer, raise::Bool)

to

tryparse_internal(::Type{Bool}, sbuff::AbstractString, startpos::Int, endpos::Int, base::Integer, raise::Bool)

2. adding a workaround in InlineStrings.jl to make sure parse works for older Julia versions.

Ok, PR to fix Base is up: JuliaLang/julia#47782. Will look into what we should do in InlineStrings as well.
