Boolean value is not working in ngSwitch Directive

[Bretto]

I'm submitting a ... feature request

Current behavior the value in ngSwitch is always interpreted as a string

Expected/desired behavior if I do: {{!!myBooleanVar}} it should be interpreted as a boolean

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? currently we need to convert boolean to string in the component logic. I would be nice to be able to use the boolean input with no conversion. (I did try to add a toBoolean Pipe but that did not work either)

@Bretto Can you post a plunker with the code you're describing? If you're trying to get the ngSwitchCase value to be interpreted as an expression, use [ngSwitchCase]="myBooleanVar" instead of ngSwitchCase="{{myBooleanVar}}".

If you're talking about the switch value, you don't need to surround that in brackets, just use [ngSwitch]="myBooleanVar".

Either way, this seems like a support request and not a bug fix.
