3.9.1 [basic.fundamental], par. 6 states:
As described below, bool values behave as integral types.
Values of type bool participate in integral promotions (4.5).
The sentence "bool values behave as integral types" looks definitely
out of order: how can a value behave as a type?
Proposed resolution
Remove the sentence "As described below, bool values behave
as integral types.", as it doesn't carry anything which isn't
already stated in the following paragraph(s) and in the
referenced to section about integral promotion.
