As far as I know:
Ord(True) > Ord(False) = True
Succ(False) = True
...are not only legal but also mandatory in the standard. But that doesn't
mean anything. You can implement Ord and Succ to return that values for
booleans no matter how you implemented the type.

It's possible to implement the boolean type as an enumeration and still
implement the boolean evaluation as "<> 0". I'm pretty sure to have seen this
in some specification, I just can't remember in which right now :-)
