Actually, the *real* difference between "(1 == 1)" and "1" is that the
former causes lint to complain that a constant is being used in a
conditional context *every time you use it*.  This is no fun at all.  I
mean, really.

Isn't

	var = TRUE;

just as descriptive?  Why not do that, with

	# define	TRUE	1
	# define	FALSE	0
