It works fine because you're forcing PHP to cast 'hello' in your
array from a simple boolean TRUE to the string equivalent. Bad,

It also works similar to the method in which double quotes
(translatable) work as opposed to single quotes (literal), though
instead of printing the literal $bar['hello'] it will give you a parse
error (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, if memory serves correctly for once,
but don't quote me on that).
