All sixteen possible logical operators have formal names. This one is
called "B implies A". It can be implemented, as others have mentioned
with "A or not B".

The possibility of spelling these with the comparison operators, as some
have suggested, is a consequence of Python's implementation where True
== 1 and False == 0. In other languages bool may not be relatable (or at
least not orderable), or False may be == -1.
