Yeah, we tried to change this recently but W&A shot it down with the
argument that bool is to be understood as a 1-bit integer rather than an
actual Boolean value that isn't tied to specific integer values.  I
disagree with that reasoning, but I don't think W&A are going to change
their stance on that anytime in the foreseeable future.
