    Description

      When applying NOT twice to an integer in WHERE condition, the result is incorrect.
      How to repeat:

      CREATE TABLE t(a INT);
      INSERT INTO t VALUES (-1);
      SELECT * FROM t WHERE (NOT (NOT (a))) = -1; -- [-1]
      SELECT (NOT (NOT (a))) FROM t; -- [1]
      

      The same expression yields inconsistent results when appearing in the WHERE condition and projection list. I believe that the result of applying NOT twice to an integer should be 1 or 0 rather than the original value.
