Should you be able to initialize a float with a char?

You never write things like:

    a += (b < c);

? I do. And, as I remarked before, GPUs favor this style of coding, as does SIMD 
code, as does cryto code.

Hoping the compiler will transform the code into this style, if it is not 
specified to, is just that, hope :-/

Sometimes this style is not necessarily faster, either, even though the user may 
desire it for crypto reasons.
