Currently the results of comparison operations are always converted to integers, then converted back to bools when testing a conditional branch. We should store the comparison results as bools, and only convert between integers and bools if necessary. We should also try to fold the comparisons straight into conditional tests, since LuaJIT bytecode is designed to jump on comparisons.
