My own opinion is that non-0 should implicitly cast as true and 0

UPDATE pg_cast SET castcontext = 'i' WHERE oid IN (

Thanks Geoff for this solution, I was thinking it cannot be changed ! I
end up doing this :
UPDATE pg_cast SET castcontext = 'a' WHERE oid IN (
SELECT c.oid
FROM pg_cast c
inner join pg_type src ON src.oid = c.castsource
inner join pg_type tgt ON tgt.oid = c.casttarget
WHERE (src.typname ILIKE '%int%' AND tgt.typname ILIKE 'bool%')
);
Only to have 0/1 => bool working in assignment. It saved me from
injecting ALTER TYPE before and after any INSERT/UPDATE.
In my case I don't control the query which is auto generated. (And the
framework assumes 1 and 0 are safe boolean values without cast or quote.
Changing that is not possible.)
