6) Should we eventually remove the inheritance relationship between Int and Bool?
I hope so. Bool is-a Int doesn't seem like the right relationship to me, unless perhaps we make Int is-a Long... naah, not even then.
Hm. In your favorite language bool is one of the integral types. Doesn't that imply pretty much the same thing? Anyway, do you have a use case where it matters? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
