iloc doesn't error when boolean mask is too long

[NicolasHug]

iloc doesn't error when passing a boolean mask that is too long (as long as the values are False). The same is true for Series.

import pandas as pd
d = pd.DataFrame([1, 2])
d.iloc[[True, True, False]]  # does not error even though index is too long
d.iloc[[True, True, True]]  # error as expected

Sorry, not sure if this is an expected behaviour, but I was quite surprised at first.
