Yes, but, why "Type mismatch: wanted Integer, got String instead"?
"0" is also *string* and it is accepted.

Also booleans are accepted and interpreted as False = 0, True = -1, which
is not the way Boolean algebra works.
But that is OK, because it is the usual way things work in computers.

So I don't think my question was so far fetched.
