humn... maybe. Let me do a conversion in that direction and see what is
the outcome.

My original intention was to make IS_ENABLED() even uglier to cover the
int case, but after some tries it seems impossible to do on preprocessor
context, so I thought maybe it would be ok as a separate one.

if we don't handle the undefined case and only worry about encapsulating
it inside a boolean predicate, the macro would be very simple. Would
that be worth having in kconfig.h maybe?
