To my disappointment, you will get your wish, at least for the second 
part:

https://bugs.python.org/issue35712

I am disappointed because, to me, it is a fundamental part of Python's 
object model that *everything* can be interpreted as a truthy/falsey 
object (in the absence of bugs).

Anyway, the deprecation warning has been checked in, so it's probably 
only a matter of time before you will get your TypeError :-)
