Actually, I have been using an equivalent user type for years, like most
programmers I know.
It was not really a type, just a typedef and a pair of #define for TRUE and
FALSE
stdbool goes a little bit beyond that, but cannot fix the lack of a true boolean
paradigm in C, and lowercase true and false make me think too much of java...

So I agree with your point, but still prefer for(;;)
