[pypy-dev] A very easy bug for newcomers

[Костя Лопухин]

As Amaury Forgeot d'Arc noted here,
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/pull-request/69/fix-issue-1180-implement-bool-formatting#comment-8635
in CPython there is no specific code for booleans, but an empty
format_spec always delegate to str().
Is it better to try to achieve the same in PyPy? Or just delegate to
str if there is no format string, and to int formatting if there is
any, like here https://bitbucket.org/kostialopuhin/pypy-fix1180/changeset/99ddf04ded5a
?

And a second questing - where is the proper place for this discussion
- here, in the pull request, or in the issues in bugtracker?
