=head1 DESCRIPTION

This trait provides native delegation methods for boolean values. A boolean is
a scalar which can be C<1>, C<0>, C<"">, or C<undef>.

=head1 DEFAULT TYPE

If you don't provide an C<isa> value for your attribute, it will default to
C<Bool>.

=head1 PROVIDED METHODS

None of these methods accept arguments.

=over 4

=item * B<set>

Sets the value to C<1> and returns C<1>.

=item * B<unset>

Set the value to C<0> and returns C<0>.

=item * B<toggle>

Toggles the value. If it's true, set to false, and vice versa.

Returns the new value.

=item * B<not>

Equivalent of 'not C<$value>'.
