What about code like
     ClrObject.Enabled = 1

Shouldn't there be a translation of int <=> boolean there?  As far
as I can tell, the Python boolean type wasn't added until 2.3, and
there are probably still a lot of people (like me) that would write
the code that way.

Maybe it would be more effective to loop through the method list
twice -- disallowing crazy bool conversions the first time and
then allowing them if there weren't any hits.
