How would this change be helpful? I'm utterly mystified by these suggestions that bool would be more useful if it didn't behave like an int in arithmetic.
I think there's a desire by some people to get rid of unnecessary conceptual baggage left over for historical reasons. Those people are mystified as to why anyone would *want* a boolean to behave like an int. Personally I'm +0 on this. I wouldn't object if it happened, but I'm not pushing for it. -- Greg
