Let's not get hung up on my apparently poor choice of words for 
an informal summary in a newsgroup post. The more formal summary 
I appended to the DIP is closer to what they actually said.

The DIP starts from the assumption that bool should be a distinct 
type from integrals, a point of view that is not uncommon. Walter 
and Andrei take the position that this is incorrect the wrong way 
to view a bool.
