Isn't it a question of what the MMD takes as the more significant argument?
I would think that:

 infix:<..>(Int, Int)

and

 infix:<..>(Bool, Bool)

would be defined, so the question becomes which of those takes priority,
right? If it's the first parameter, then we'll try to coerce 2 to Bool,
won't we? Or is that now now it works?
