Allowing multiple representations for a given value of a type adds
quite some complexity since we then have to say what is the canonical
representation for comparisons and we have to explicit whether or when
implementation have to remember which representation was used. So I am
a big fan of one representation per value and since a a boolean type
has just two values, the boolean YANG type only has "true" and
"false".
