Should be able to asbool('✓') and get truthy

For example:

    from wsgiref.simple_server import make_server

    from pyramid.config import Configurator
    from pyramid.response import Response
    from pyramid.settings import asbool

    def hello_world(request):
        b = asbool(request.GET['b'])
        return Response('hello! %s' % b)

    def main():
        config = Configurator()
        config.add_view(hello_world)
        app = config.make_wsgi_app()
        return app

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        app = main()
        server = make_server('0.0.0.0', 8080, app)
        server.serve_forever()


If you go to:

http://0.0.0.0:8080/?b=✓

it should return:
"Hello True"
