The use of `bool` as registry key only works because that object already exists as a builtin. This amounts a form of shadowing, and sets a dangerous precedent.
type=bool
should work as documented at
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?highlight=bool#bool
even if that is not what a casual user would expect.
