Many win32lib functions return w32True or w32False and ARE used in
exactly this manner (eg isTopLevelWindow). If I see a function returns
TRUE or FALSE, then I WILL assume I can use the result in a condition.
Sure, w32True and w32False are defined correctly, so this is not an
issue in win32lib.

There *IS* a much higher potential for the obvious mis-assumption.

Don't start that nonsense either.
The difference of opinion here is probably that you are stating
something which can be shown to work and is therefore theoretically
and technically "tolerable", whereas I am stating that such code is
nothing short of wilfully misleading, and therefore, I claim, wrong.
