[PATCH v2 3/5] rust: num: add `as_bool` method to `Bounded<_, 1>`
Posted by Alexandre Courbot 2 weeks, 4 days ago
Single-bit numbers are typically treated as booleans. There is an
`Into<bool>` implementation for those, but invoking it from contexts
that lack type expectations is not always convenient.

Add an `as_bool` method as a simpler shortcut.
