Comment (by akaariai):
I'm not sure if this is actually worth doing. It would make
Sum(bool_field) work like sum(bool_values) works in Python, and it
wouldn't take that much code to do. On the other hand, there is something
to be said for doing the Count explicitly.
We should also solve what to do in 1.8. Should 1.8 work like 1.7? We could
also disallow Sum(bool_field), or perhaps we want to push the above idea
to 1.8, too?
My initial feeling is that we should try what the solution actually looks
like. The actual code portion of the changes might be surprisingly small.
