it's quite simple: they view a bool as an integral type with two possible values, a `bit` if you like. As such, they prefer to fit it into the existing scheme for integral types rather than special-casing booleans as Mike proposed.
I can’t say I have a strong opinion on this, but possibly it would be right to have an integral “bit” type to differentiate it from the Boolean type, just like we have a “byte” type to differentiate it from “char”...
