Currently ~False is -1 and ~True is -2. Would be nicer if ~bool was the same as not bool. Hopefully nobody actually relies on this but nevertheless, it would be a backwards-incompatible change so the whole deprecation warnings and whatnot would be required.

In particular, this is nice for xnor operator: a ^~ b. This currently works on ints, but not on bools, while most other operators, including xor, do successfully work on bools.
