Summary: obj.__contains__() returns 1/0...

Initial Comment:
shouldn't it return True/False?

examples:
>>> a = 'python'
>>> a.__contains__('perl')
0
>>> a.__contains__('python')
1
>>> a = { 'python' : 1, 'ruby' : 1 }
>>> a.__contains__('perl')
0
>>> a.__contains__('python')
1
>>>

instead of:

>>> a = 'python'
>>> a.__contains__('perl')
False
>>> a.__contains__('python')
True
>>> a = { 'python' : 1, 'ruby' : 1 }
>>> a.__contains__('perl')
False
>>> a.__contains__('python')
True
>>>

The reason for asking is that i.e. obj.__eq__() returns True/False,
and besides True/False looks nicer than 1/0 ;>
