The relation is this: PyObject_IsTrue() will let you say

    ob.selected = True
or
    ob.selected = 1
or anything else which Python would evaluate as True using bool().  The 
gist of the discussion I referred to (as I interpreted it) was to be as 
forgiving of user input as possible (can't remember the expression 
Stephen quoted).  Since the consensus at that time was to go with 
PyObject_IsTrue(), my assumption was we should follow that elsewhere in 
the API.

I tried passing strings like '1.2' to PyFloat_AsDouble() and as I 
expected, it doesn't return a float value of 1.2.  Same type of thing 
for PyInt_AsLong().
