Walter, you're completely missing the point.
I completely understand it is a perception problem. Some people see bool
as a 1 bit integer (including me). Some see bool as something very
distinct from integers (including you).
short x = cast(short)0x10000;
assert(x == 0);
bool b = cast(bool)2;
assert(b == 1); // NOT 2s complement
bool is not an integer. It doesn't behave like any other integer type.
Because it has some power to implicitly cast to int, this does not make it
an integer.
