The problem is that boolean fields also have -1 as a possible value,
which means "not specified". So there will be a problem with this,
since we can't tell what 'not specified' should be, true or false.

Hi XWikiers,
In BaseClass there is possibility to add Boolean type field with
"addBooleanField". In XwikiDocument (and then in BaseCollection), we
use "getIntValue" and "setIntValue" to retrieve or set the value
with
0=false and 1=true. It's very simple but I think a
"get/setBooleanValue" that do the conversion would be much more
readable and avoid developper to search how boolean values are really
stored.

Agreed. Every time I use a Boolean value, I have to remember this. I
don't do it so often that it's ingrained.. :-P
