The optimizer already changes semantic. Non-optimized "if a and True:" would call bool(a) twice, but optimized code calls it only once.
Perhaps Ref 3.3.1 object.__bool__ entry, after " should return False or True.", should say something like "Should not have side-effects, as redundant bool calls may be optimized away (bool(bool(ob)) should have the same result as bool(ob))."
