I would contend it's a good step to avoid further problems. I see it more
likely as insensitive decreasing of type safety. Moreover the step is not
easily revertible. Simply speaking, you can do s/bool/int/ at any point
later if you really consider it necessary. On the other hand, you can never
do s/int/bool/ so easily in the future. Just my two cents.
