The ANSI committee will have to do something about bit fields. Currently,
the way to store a boolean in a single bit of storage is to say
struct { int flag: 1; } var;
and only test var.flag against zero. I don't think that you should expect
typedef enum {False, True} bool;
struct { bool flag : 1; } var;
to even compile, because compilers are currently required to only support
int bit fields.
