I think pointer == bool should be permitted

For instance 

`if (myPointer == false) throw nullptr;`

Sort of half-related to this, I don't think that function pointers should implicitly convert to bool. I chased a bug recently:

 

    assert( wxIsMainThread );

 

which should have been:

 

    assert( wxIsMainThread() );

 

I would be in favour of the deprecation of implicit conversion of a function pointer to bool -- although maybe that would break too much code.
