[Scilab-users] printing a boolean value

I am amazed to get my question answered after three month! Thanks, Stefan.

Still, I want to see Scilab become more intuitive.

If Scilab considers the boolean type is completely different type than 
integer, I think it should have a format specifier for the boolean type, 
that can be given to mprintf.

Or a boolean value may be implicitely converted to an integer value as 
in C, which is widely recognized practice.
