But it does violate the "explicit is better than implicit" tenet, don't

Why so ? The doc clearly states that booleans are integers with True
== 1 and False == 0, so there's nothing implicit here.
Python "bool" values are NOT integers. They can be coerced to
integers for historical reasons. But "str(True)" is "True".
Okay, so they are *subtypes* of integers, to be precise... but what,
exactly, does the string representation of an object have to do with its
type?
