Comment(by plobsing):
It is not that easy. The "logical_not" vtable, around which not_p_p is
based, returns a PMC. So the vtable, not the op, is doing the boxing.
To avoid a box operation, we'd need to add a new vtable and a new op.
We're trying to cut down on bloat of both op and vtable sets, so -1 to
this course of action.
A case could be made that logical_not should return an intval (or maybe
even be removed in favour of using get_bool).
