-Design Notes for a Boolean Type in Gawk
-
-1. A new function  bool(val)  converts val to bool, returning Boolean TRUE
-or FALSE.  This is the generator for boolean values and is enough to have
-instead of predefining new variables TRUE and FALSE.
-
-2. Assigning from a boolean value copies the bool type.
-
-3. Boolean variables have numeric values 1 and 0 respectively, and string
-values "TRUE" and "FALSE".  Thus they differ from other variables where a
-"false" value must be zero and null.
-
-Given:
-
-	true = bool(1)
-	false = bool(0)
-
-this implies all of the following:
-
-	print(true) --> "TRUE"
-	print(false) --> "FALSE"
-	Same for %s in printf
-	Same for bool_var ""
-	printf %d gives 0/1
-
-4. typeof() returns "bool".
-
-5. Numeric operators treat booleans as numbers.  asort() sorts booleans before
-numbers, and false before true.
-
-6. These string function generate a runtime fatal error
-if given an argument / target of boolean type:
-
-	gsub sub
-
-These functions merely treat the value as a string
-but issue a lint warning.
-
-	substr	match	index	gensub
-	length	split	patsplit
-	tolower	toupper
-
-7. Updates to API needed for an additional type, and the table
-for requested vs. returns.
-
-8. The following extensions need revising:
-
-	- JSON extension
-	- dump / read array extensions
-	- what else?
