good point.  except, dennis was mostly ignored. 
why should mortals expect different results?

i also don't understand your defence of _Bool.  why
add a type that behaves in a nonstandard manner?
i see two disadvantages with this approach.
1. the compiler must have special rules for a type
with irregular rules.
2. programmers must remember these special rules,
increasing the chance of error.

why would a typedef- or enum-based boolean type
fail to serve this purpose, assuming one is convinced
of the need for a boolean type.
