The big reason I was excited about bool in C++ when we got it was that I
knew I'd be able to do this, given b1,b2 of type bool:
if (b1 == b2) ...
And there would be no chance of getting the wrong result because b1 and
b2 were different ways to spell "true" (i.e. b1 == 1, b2 == 42). I guess
the python analogy would be:
if bool(x[y]) == bool(z):
...
or something like that.
FWIW,
Dave
