Comment (by apedog):

 Testing with {{{if ( get_option('some_option') !== false )}}} will not
 return false negatives for {{{null}}}, {{{0}}}, {{{''}}}.
 But will still miss boolean {{{false}}}... :/

 This seems to me like a useful method.
 I think {{{SELECT 1}}} in the query would be more appropriate. You don't
 want to return the option. You want to return a boolean.
