Increasingly I'm tending that way - the amount of magic that can be
crammed into a simple if is worrying. One thing which would
definitely be a misfeature would be a _bool metamethod. In languages
with value types like C++ bool conversion has its uses, but C++ is not
a good influence on other languages.
