I agree with everything, but one thing that is not specified here is 
when integers are used as conditionals.

In other words, this still has to compile:

if(1) ...

enum a = 1;

if(a) ...

I can see this somehow getting caught up in the "implicit conversion to 
bool", so there should be a section to address this.
