Like you say it is a matter of opinion. The projects opinion is here:

and it works for me.
And you're welcome to it. I'm not arguing for it changing. I'm simply
stating that I'm very pleased that the default behaviour can be
changed, because in my opinion writing a bunch of explicit casts in a
query is a surefire path to unreadable code.

And it may be just a matter of opinion but for me 0 and 1 "naked", *do* represent boolean value. More than 't' or 'f', if you consider all the computer history...

In the end it would be very nice to add a pointer in the documentation about this behavior and a quick workaround for the ones who really need it. That would be great :D !

Thanks all !
