[PATCH v3 3/6] rust: num: add `as_bool` method to `Bounded<_, 1>`

From: Alexandre Courbot

Date: Mon Jan 26 2026 - 08:34:30 EST


Single-bit numbers are typically treated as booleans. There is an
`Into<bool>` implementation for those, but invoking it from contexts
that lack type expectations is not always convenient.

Add an `as_bool` method as a simpler shortcut.
