I find myself using something I've dubbed the 'normalise' operator quite 
a lot in C and C++ --- !!.

bool convert_to_bool(int i)
{
    return !!i; // equivalent to (i ? true : false)
}

Yes, I know it's just two boolean nots one after the other, but it's 
sufficiently useful and IMO sufficiently atomic that it's worth thinking 
of as a primitive operation.
