Wow, I have never used ``assertTrue(not res)`` and that seems really weird to me. Do you want to do that so we are more compatible with ``eq_`` and ``ok_``? 

Regarding the boolean conversion, I took what configman does, and configman doesn't turn ``14`` to ``True``. I understand your point, and though that is a very specific case that I don't expect to happen, I will change it.
