Indeed, you could make a case that the conditional form

	if ( a == b ) return( TRUE );
	else return( FALSE );

is the hacky one, and not

	return( a == b );

The idea of a Boolean expression is a part of all procedural languages I'm
familiar with, including C, Pascal, and so on.  If the programmer can't
understand the idea of a Boolean expression yielding a Boolean value, that's
his blind spot, and it will lead to inferior code.
