Is casting for boolean always the same as this degenerate if statement?

Consider these two statements:

$result = [bool]$SomeObject $result = if ($SomeObject) { $true } else { $false }

These two statements seem equivalent, but quirks of PowerShell often surprise me. Usually I try to work with similar things from the language specification, but the closest to what seems to be is stackoverflow.

  • Are the two statements above equivalent for all the possible types and values ​​of $SomeObject ?

  • Is the answer to (1) actually baked in the CLR? If so, how can I say that this is so?
