As someone who has always despised the usage of "foo == true" and "foo == false" in predicates instead of just "foo" or "not foo" (or "!foo"), this pleases me.

As someone who has always despised the usage of "foo == true" and "foo == false" in predicates instead of just "foo" or "not foo" (or "!foo"), this pleases me. That practice misses the point of what it means for a value to be a boolean. (Even in C, if it's actually an int.)
