Reading this, I noticed that cimporting 'bool' will break valid Python code like "bool(some_pyvalue)". However, given that the Python 'bool' type is so rarely used as a type declaration (mostly because Python's boolean coercion features are much too powerful to restrict values to True/False), I don't think this will pose problems in real life. I'm really happy that 0.13 is out there just the way it is.
