bool <=> int. WTF. (DIP0015)

[Rob T]

Sorry old thread I know, but I just got hit by an implicit bool 
to long conversion bug today, it's been a recurring theme over 
the years, so I checked in to see if anything had finally been 
changed to address the recurring bool issue and found this thread 
which is relatively recent, and also DIP 1015 that was rejected.

Perhaps the best solution, is rather than attempting to change 
what are deeply ingrained and polarised concepts surrounding the 
existing quasi bool/integral type, is a DIP proposing the 
addition of a new formally defined boolean type that would leave 
the existing bool type in place unchanged, no compromises have to 
be made, and no legacy code will have to be broken.

Any thoughts on if there may be at least some possible open 
minded support by the two guys who have the veto power?
