[plt-scheme] boolean operators on integers

If that's not what you want, you'll need to use a different operator...

You could, in some place just convert numebrs to booleans, eg:

  (lambda (x) (not (= x 0)))

is a function that does that conversion. Or you could define
(straightforward) macros that were analogs of and/or/etc but that
operated on numbers. They would just insert the above coercion into
the arguments to the original and/or/etc.
