In general it is allowed, but the boolean parser is not up to it yet. A 
common workaround is to implement a boolean getter method in your model, 
like getIsTest() or something like that.

I could have sworn that there is a "transform" viewHelper somewhere 
that's able to shift cases (ucfirst, strtolower etc.). If it's missing, 
there's a good chance that those are already available on the viewHelper 
incubator.
