[GENERAL] convert integer to bool implicitly

[Sim Zacks]

How easy would it be to write a small type extension to have integer 
automatically convert to bool?
For example, I want an implicit conversion that 0 is false and 
everything else is true.

Is this C programming or can you do it with a local procedural language?
Thanks
