[Python-Dev] For review: PEP 285: Adding a bool type

[Gerald S. Williams]

Please don't take this as a real endorsement, and YMMV to
be sure, but somehow this seems right to me given the way
Python currently determines "truth":

>>> 1 == True, 2 == True, [] == False
(True, True, True)
>>> 1 is True, 2 is True, [] is False
(False, False, False)
>>> bool(1) is True, bool(2) is True, bool([]) is False
(True, True, True)
