          Issue ID: 24646
           Summary: `is` test broken for invalid bools
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

The `is` binary operator (`lhs is rhs`) for built-in types should always test the whole bit pattern of whatever it compares. For `bool` it tests only the last bit of the `bool` value. This means that an invalid `bool` (e.g. created by accident in `@system` code) is needlessly hard to debug. Bare-metal tools such as `is` should be able to tell an invalid `bool` apart from a valid `bool` by having an invalid bool be `!is true` and `!is false`, and instead have it `is N` with 2 ≤ `N` ≤ `ubyte.max`.
