On a side note, writing 'i or False and True' performs much better than bool(i) in the test implementation, and flow control statements involving ints are perform much better than flow control using bool. Will there be a performance degredation in the final version, or can this be avoided?

I fixed my test to not do a global lookup on True and flow control is no longer slower.
