You feel there might be a lot of code passing floats, ints, or strings to `bool` parameters? I'm doubtful this is the case, since static analysis tools and IDEs are in much more widespread use nowadays. In my experience passing non-boolean values to a `bool` parameter almost always indicates a bug, and it would be valuable to get a deprecation notice sooner rather than later so these mistakes can be fixed.
