The fact that as.integer(TRUE) is 1 (and that for FALSE, it gives zero) is a really nice feature, eg when constructing piecewise functions (for example, as in -x*(x<0)+x*(x>=0)) and for many other things.
Since I haven't found a reference about this, I just wanted to ask whether this is officialy part of the language or just a side effect (ie I want to know whether it is here to stay and if it is prudent to use this).
