Comment (by mmezzarobba):
Replying to [comment:3 cheuberg]:
> Two remarks:
>
> - Shouldn't we use `bint` for those C functions returning an integer
which is meant as a boolean? In that case, `bool` could be omitted in the
Python methods.
Yes, indeed, thanks. I just copied the C prototypes without thinking...
> - Should we really expose a function `is_nonzero`? We have to implement
``__nonzero__`` anyway.
`RIF` intervals implement `__nonzero__` with the meaning of "not exactly
zero". So I think we need both if we want to stay compatible with them.
But then I'm not sure doing things that way in `RIF` was the wisest choice
in the first place...
