I am about to start work on this, but I think it is worth discussing if TreatTinyAsBoolean=true is a sensible default. In my opinion, changing the data types based off length is unpredictable and therefore is not a sensible default, I would prefer to use TreatTinyAsBoolean=false as the default

I can see how it is confusing if somebody was using BOOL or BOOLEAN as their field types, however. MySql has created an alias of BOOL and BOOLEAN to map to TINYINT(1) (they should have made the alias map to BIT(1), but too late for that). In this case, I understand why somebody would expect TreatTinyAsBoolean=true as the default.

@bgrainger what is your opinion?
