Directly output boolen mask from transect_mask?

[leewujung]

Right now the transect_mask function produces masks with 0/1 integer values, which can be turned into True/False boolean masks for downstream combination with other masks.

Wouldn't it be more straightforward to directly produce masks with True/False boolean values from this function?

Or is this to maintain consistency with masks generated by the region_mask function, where the pixels in each region by default contains the integer region_id value?
