I bet the correct answer is bool(false). StdClass is so standard, it's gotta be false, right?

Wait, what? I thought boolval() would return false for an empty object. This is trickier than it looks.

Easy peasy! It's got to be bool(true). Everything is truthy in PHP, even an empty object!

Hmm, I'm thinking it's going to be bool(false). After all, a new StdClass object is an empty object, right?
