code: def emergency_cast(colx, value):
    
    if colx.coltp.type.lower()=='boolean':
      if isinstance(value,sqparse2.NameX): value = value.name
      if isinstance(value,bool): return value
      return dict(true=True, false=False)[value.lower()] # keyerror if other
    else:
      return value
docs: ugly: this is a huge hack. get serious about where this belongs in the architecture.
    For now, most types rely on being fed in as SubbedLiteral.
