Huh? It's entirely related.
The fact that sizeof(bool) * 8 != sizeof(byte) is what causes
problems in vector<bool> (can't treat them like other types,
which we can address directly), and it's also one of the
asymmetries bool has with integers in D (and any other language).
Different situation, same cause: bool doesn't behave like an
integer.
Isn't that self-contradictory?
He is saying bool is an integral type in D. (i.e. it can be
promoted to
'int' in order to support integer arithmetic.)
I thought we just established that boolean logic isn't integer
logic?
