Yeah, I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of "bool". It has some odd
properties, especially in memory (ie as a structure member).
For this kind of function return value it actually tends to work very
well, and in fact often generates slightly better code than "int". So
I don't _hate_ bool, and we've certainly had a lot more use creep in
lately, but I also don't really see "bool" as much of an upside.
