Dear Oliver,

Based on your suggestion, I am adding the following as a potential suggestion for generalizing batman:

The other common interchangeable things you see on surveys are integers written in english: 1 as "one", 2 as "two" etc.

I believe we can exploit venables english package to easily support english lang.

This is much faster. Good GOD did I overengineer this package.

Not sure if this nice little package is still maintained. This is a feature request.

Currently, to_logical does not accept anything else than character vectors. That's really limiting.
A very frequent use case would be to be able to pass this function in for example dplyr::mutate on a set of columns selected with tidy select, even if this should sometimes capture other columns than characters - instead of resulting in an error, it would be good if just the same vector would be returned and maybe a warning instead.

mutate(foo0,across(everything(), to_logical))

Great idea! How about multilingual support, either as a function argument or in response to the language environment?
