Good catch, fixed.

Fixed in the comments. I agree that there is a need to walk through
the documentation and update any appearance of bool() with boolean().
Part of the reason bool() is still used by people is due to this
terminology use in documentation. A quick git grep on bool\(\) suggest
that there are around 3000 places to fix, as an upper bound (there may
be considerably less, but not more). A daunting task, if one also need
to check formatting.

I'll let cooking be up to you to decide :) Personally I was aiming for
a cooking in 'pu' first - mind you, I have not executed the test cases
on it, partially because I don't know what tests to narrow it down to.
It would seem easy to include in 'pu' for a batch of testing and then
just grad it to 'dev'. But as I said, your call.

Ammended patch is refetchable at,
