Originally, SQLite lacks type <Boolean>. Instead, it uses simple <1> and <0>. To support ANSI we should introduce separate <Boolean> type.
<Boolean> specification from ANSI:

The data type boolean comprises the distinct truth values True and False. Unless prohibited by a NOT NULL constraint, the boolean data type also supports the truth value Unknown as the null value. This specification does not make a distinction between the null value of the boolean data type and the truth value Unknown that is the result of an SQL <predicate>, <search condition>, or <boolean value expression>; they may be used interchangeably to mean exactly the same thing.
The boolean data type is described by the boolean data type descriptor. The boolean data type descriptor contains: — The name of the boolean data type (BOOLEAN).

All boolean values and SQL truth values are comparable and all are assignable to a site of type boolean. The value True is greater than the value False, and any comparison involving the null value or an Unknown truth value will return an Unknown result. The values True and False may be assigned to any site having a boolean data type; assignment of Unknown, or the null value, is subject to the nullability characteristic of the target.

After this type is introduced, we may force some conversions. For instance, most DBs require arguments of predicates be of type boolean (now they can be INT). For instance, 123 OR 0 is not allowed, but 123 != 0 OR false is OK.

4.5.3.2 Other operators involving booleans
Every SQL <predicate>, <search condition>, and <boolean value expression> may be considered as an operator that returns a boolean result.

Last proposal is considered to be self-sufficient and moved to separate issue: #3723

sql: introduce type boolean
8fdcbc1 
This patch introduces basic facilities to operate on boolean type:
boolean literals "true" and "false" where true > false; alias to null -
unknown; column type "BOOLEAN" and shortcut "BOOL"; opportunity to
insert and select boolean values from table; OR and AND predicates
accept boolean arguments; CAST operation involving boolean type;
comparison between boolean values (including VDBE sorter routines).
