Now, how does one answer this question? True - Firebird does not
have a Boolean type; or False to Firebird having a Boolean type. :-)

Simple to use? or simple to implement? for the latter, you don't
know the half of it.

True, you cannot declare a PSQL variable with a domain as its type
(yet). But as long as you define a domain that covers what you want
your Boolean rules to be and you use the domain consistently for all
your Boolean columns, it's not too much of a burden to use the
underlying data type while we await the implementation that will
enable domains to stand as pseudo types in PSQL. (It's not trivial,
either; just less non-trivial than implementing a range of Boolean
types that would work everywhere the way people expect Boolean types to work!)
