I actually did this intentionally. x = y == z; pattern looked too
obscure to my taste, tbh.

It's certainly a question of taste and obviously there is nothing
wrong with yours.
Maybe adding parentheses makes the below look less obscure to you?
x = (y == z);
My taste would run to something like:

Yeah, I think this would be explicit enough. But let's keep the *(bool
*) cast and keep switch code shorter and without extra {} block.

That just leads to people thinking conditionals need to be in parentheses
and then getting the priorities for ?: all wrong as in:
x = a + (b == c) ? d : e;
It would (probably) be better to make 'ext_val' be a union type
(probably a 'pointer to a union' rather than a union of pointers)
so that all the casts go away.

I think this came up before already. I did this on purpose and I'd
like to keep it that way in the code.
