The use of `bool` as registry key only works because that object already exists 
as a builtin.  This amounts a form of shadowing, and sets a dangerous precedent.

    type=bool

should work as documented at

https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html?highlight=bool#bool

even if that is not what a casual user would expect.
