Boolean Operators Slighted in C

~> Boolean data type in C

I say `typedef unsigned char bool'...

Instead of using macros like lxor, I do
#define boolval(bv) ((bv)!=0)
so I can get away with saying boolval(XXX) ^ boolval(YYY) and the like.
Doesn't help with waning to be able to do BBBBB &&= CCCCC;

"Equal rights for Booleans!" has been my cry for a while - but I meant it
with respect to computer architectures, not C. After all, C can't be expected
to be better than present day architectures - C is just structured assembly
language. :-). On second though, :-(.
