Sebb commented on CONFIGURATION-473:
------------------------------------
Why not 0 == true, otherwise == false?
[As per the Unix shell.]
Or 0 == false; 1 == true; anything else (Boolean) null?
Not saying your choice is wrong, just that it is not the only possible
conversion, so the rationale for choosing it needs to be carefully documented.
