The result of `1 > 2` is int, yes. That's what this patch does - it converts the `Boolean` we create to the `int` the AST (and thus all the intepreter code inspecting it) expects.

The AST has no `IntegralToBool` cast in the example, but that doesn't matter for this patch; it just fixes the types on the stack to correspond to what the later code expects. I'm not opposed to adding a target type to the comparison ops, but I'm not sure if the additional complexity is worth it.
