Comment(by richard):

 (I was surprised myself to find I hadn't made a bug report about this.)

 Of the options discussed so far, I think just changing the parameter name
 is the least intrusive in the short term, and I'd favour it.

 Longer term, providing an overloaded form using the enum might be a good
 plan, with the aim of deprecating the existing bool form, since it should
 lead to more readable code.  However, I'd be slightly concerned about
 whether the overloading implementions for all the languages we provide
 bindings for can distinguish between bool and int parameters successfully.
