Personally, I believe 0 should be equal to false and everything else should be equal to true. nil, being a special case, is false when compared to anything else other than nil.

In all my experience coding the values 0 and 1 have pretty much been the definitions of false and true. So having 0 == false, to me, just makes sense, and makes everything work as I would expect it to.

I appreciate your position, though I think I will be sticking with the patch as-is for LUNiA, I like my numeric zeros to be equivalent to boolean false in every way. :)
