Now you have me worried! Any more
detailed explanation of this issue?
I think it's just that the name "bool" refers to different
things in Python and C++, and trying to unify them would
lead to problems. So Cython has chosen to use "bool" to mean
the Python type, and introduced "bint" for the C++ notion
of a bool.
This is consistent with the general philosophy that
the Cython language is an extension of Python, so where
there is a conflict between Python smantics and C or C++
semantics, Python wins.
