I sincerely don't recommend that kind of hacks.

int and bool are completely different things. The representation in memory
may be different depending on the ABI. Furthermore, the conversion rule for
the compiler are not the same. That can introduce subtle bugs on old
compilers. I think it's best to fail explicitly than to hide bugs.
