Seems to me things are fine as they are.

The justification for & and | on bools returning bools
is that the result remains within the domain of bools,
even when they are interpreted as int operations.

But ~ on a bool-interpreted-as-an-int doesn't have
that property, so ~True is more in the realm of
True * 42 in that regard.
