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

Fair enough, because of the enum. You probably don't want to cast 
do bool via VRP.

But it also happens with integer literals, so clearly there is a 
problem.

The way I solved it on my end is to make all the opAssign 
templates and use specialization, in which case it doesn't go 
from int to bool.
