I guess I'm first.
I think the PARROT_TRUE/PARROT_FALSE thing is a Really Bad Idea.
I understand that we need a way to indicate exceptions. However, I
think that it either must be out-of-band or it needs to have a much
rarer value. I would much prefer if it was completely out-of-band, but
if that's not possible at least choose a different value; ~0 jumps out
at me as a possibility.
C people are used to being able to say
if(foo()) {
true
}
else {
false
}
and I believe it would be incredibly counterintuitive to make them use
explicit comparisons. Also, it more correctly maps onto various
languages--last I checked, -1 is true in Perl and other languages that
ascribe boolean values to integers.
