As far as Python is concerned, 'wassup' != True. However, 'wassup' has
the property of being true. Forcing scripters to adopt the curious
writing style "var and True" or "bool(var)" seems a bit odd to me;
several importers may be making use of that little shortcut of string
non-emptiness meaning presence. Restricting our arguments that way is
more complicated for both scripters and BPy developers.
