Some programming languages do automatic type conversion in some cases. A bit will always fit inside an integer but in
most cases it is probably a misstake then a bit output is connected to an integer input.

Once started on a backend for gnetlist, lepton-netlist to output a netlist in form of .hal file. Was able to produce
some output but have been constantly busy with other things for years so did not have time to finish it. Otherwise this
would make add explicit conversion simple. It is probably a good idea with explicit conversion of bit or bool to
integer.
