What I didn’t like at first is to use “ones” for a boolean type.

That was also my first reaction.
When comparing the learning curve and overall ease of use of scilab with other options (matlab, julia, python), I always come to the conclusion that the biggest problem with scilab is the use of non-intuitive function names. For example 'horner' for polynom evaluation as compared to 'polyval' is far from obvious unless you are already quite versed in polynom theory. If you couple non-intuitive function names (at least for non-specialist and casual users) with a documentation that is far from perfect, this scares a lot of possible users.

(although I know the 2 types are almost interchangeable in Scilab).

The existing function bool2s changes %t into 1.

So thinking about it a little more, OK for the proposed extensions of “ones” and “zeros”.
