But it is an integer type.
It is an integral type _internally_.
A bool type should have the values true/false. When someone sees
foo(45) he expects it to call an overload that receives an
_integral_ value. Which overload is going to be called is a
detail (short or long in this example). It is confusing to call
an overload that takes bool. Boolean are true/false, not 0, 1 or
anything else.
