That's fine.  It's /F's call how he wants to do it.  I assigned that patch
to him.

I like to read compound words where the elements are themselves words.
StringType doesn't match "str".  Either way is fine with me.

I suppose if I really had my druthers I'd have preferred the function was
called "boole()" and the object in the types module "BooleType".  After all,
that's how George's name was spelled... ;-)
