I agree. I think what happens is that -stringValue, *not* - 
description, is called. And -stringValue will invoke -description per  
default.
Anyways, I think that sope-gdl1 should not invoke -stringValue in  
that context but be more clever about the object being passed in.

Anyways, on lF and Cocoa -description returns 1 for boolean YES  
NSNumber's, GNUstep returns YES. (which is IMHO also fine, but  
different)
