1. You can always do it in the query if you really want it.
True, but not always practical.

Really? The difference between t/f is that the vertical squiggle is

t t f f f
f t f t f
Saying that I'm not target audience for not being able to see WTF is
going on above I find offending.
3. I really don't want to end up with a bunch of features of this type
for a variety of different data types.
Fine. Then let's not add it for a different variety of data types. But
boolean is quite essential and it has a really small number of valid
output values.
