If someone wants to return a value larger than maxsize and support bool():
it is already possible right now by defining a __bool__ method no? If yes,
I suggest to only document this CPython implementation detail (consequence
of slots, for efficiency) and suggest to use __bool__ for such corner case.

I also dislike retrying to call "__len__" method instead of the slot. It
can have annoying side effects.
