I'm voting no on this RFC as I think the rejected feature described in
the RFC is the way to go (relaxing true and false to allow type coercions).

For me, the main purpose of the singleton true/false boolean types is
rather being explicit on what's actually stored/returned, rather than
not being assignable an integer (e.g. 0 for false).

Hello internals,

I just closed the vote, and the RFC has been declined, with 10 votes in favour and 11 against. (47.6%)

Thank you to everyone that has voted and participated in the discussions.
