Guido,

I'm kinda curious.  I understand all the arguments, but they've been around
for a long time.  It's not like any of the reasons for having a boolean are
new.  What straw broke your pet camel's back and made you sit down and say
to yourself, "We need a boolean type in Python.  I think I'll write a PEP
today instead of going to Starbucks for a latte."?
