Actually, that portion of c.h is a time bomb that is likely to blow up
in the face of some poor C++ user.  There's no guarantee that a C++
compiler's built-in bool type will be compatible with "char", is there?
If it happened to be, say, same size as "int", then a C++ module
would interpret lots of things differently from a C module.
