Personally, as an old Pascal-lover, I always thought that C's failure
to distinguish between int and boolean was the single biggest design
mistake in the language.  I'm very glad that SQL doesn't make that
mistake, and I don't want to go against the standard to introduce it.

Then you should love Python where everything non-empty is regarded True
in boolean context ;-)
