[MOBY-l] Boolean object

[Paul Gordon]

I'd make boolean a primitive and adjust the APIs, it's really an 
oversight that this wasn't in there before.  This is a natural 
progression for the Java API, as boolean is a primitive in Java.  This 
avoids many potential headaches of boolean misuse in conditionals and 
arithmetic as are found in C/C++ (no dig intended, I love those languages).
