I see the 'bool' but recently seen mentioned some '_Bool' type.
The latter was probably chosen in that special syntax to avoid
conflicts during "C" language evolution?
How do regular "C" programmers handle that multitude of boolean
types;  ranging from use of 'int', over own "bool" types, then
'_Bool', and now 'bool'?  Since it's a very basic type it looks
like you need hard transitions in evolution of your "C" code?

I use a typedef, in order to isolate code from changes in the C
standard, and to facilitate moving code from one compilation
environment to another.  As much as I can I try to write code
that is both platform- and standard-version- independent (within
limits, obviously, but usually code can be written so that there
will be complaints at compile time if the relevant limits are not
observed).
