[New-bugs-announce] [issue20282] Argument Clinic: int with boolean default

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Currently in many functions boolean argument parsed as int, with 'i' code. When converting this to Argument Clinic we can't write just

    interactive: int = False

because C default becomes "Py_False".

Instead we need explicitly specify c_default.

    interactive: int(c_default="0") = False

It would be good if True/False default values be converted to 1/0 C default values for the int type.

I think this is enough common situation.
