Which brings up a fairly obvious question:  Especially given that there
are hidden true and false objects in the Python core, how come there
isn't a distinct Boolean type in Python, with values true and false? 
There's nothing on this in the FAQ.

This is one of the few things I really wish was in Python, for
cleanliness sake.
