How to check if a Ruby object is a Boolean

Question

I can\'t seem to check if an object is a boolean easily. Is there something like this in Ruby?

true.is_a?(Boolean)
false.is_a?(Boolean)

If your code can sensibly be written as a case statement, this is pretty decent:

case mybool
when TrueClass, FalseClass
  puts "It's a bool!"
else
  puts "It's something else!"
end
