To reiterate, history amply shows that if 'true' and 'false'
are not there, then people will define them themselves,
inconsistently, and the end result is not helpful to anybody.
So basically, those are to be seen as simple #defines for 0 and
1 and nothing more than that?
I am for a boolean type that is only true and false.
And, if so much needed conversion from int 0 and int non0 to
boolean is needed in if() and while(), then simply add ifz(),
ifnz(), whilez() and whilenz() to the language.
(that is: ifzero(), infnonzero(), whilezero(), whilenonzero()).
This is plain useless as a cast is already inserted here.
