Making it an assignment cast would be sufficient for the particular
case shown, and would be less likely to introduce surprising behavior
elsewhere.

Of course, depending on how thoroughly the application confuses int
and bool, you might be stuck with using the implicit cast.  But it's
a bit scary.  I think I'd look at option (1) before trying (2) with an
implicit cast.
