It is an integral type _internally_.
A bool type should have the values true/false. When someone sees 
foo(45) he expects it to call an overload that receives an 
_integral_ value. Which overload is going to be called is a 
detail (short or long in this example). It is confusing to call 
an overload that takes bool. Boolean are true/false, not 0, 1 or 
anything else.
