not a fan of these changes since it messes up git blame and it becomes 
harder to track down author if you have questions relating to bug/code.

that said, "if var > 0" is not the same as "if var". in the latter, var 
can be any number (negative or positive) or any other datatype and it'll 
evaluate to True. so... don't blindly do this.

After all, if this change is worthwhile, it is worth ensuring that this construct that we are seeking to eliminate, does not reenter the code base.
