Is there a reason why BooleanField does not return boolean objects?

[Mohamed Barwani]

class BooleanField(EnumerationField):
     """A field containing a boolean value.

     The enumeration contains two values: true and false."""

     def __init__(self, name = "", default_value = None, **properties):

         # Construct the base class.
         EnumerationField.__init__(self, name, default_value,
                                   ["true", "false"], **properties)
                                       ^^____^^ both are strings not 
bolean objects. Why?

cheers
