   It's not a question of encouraging people, is a question of 
providing continuity of functionality. In C89, "bool" has no special 
status---it's just an identifier, and it's the one we happen to use 
in OSLib to represent boolean values in the operating system. A 
library client who is using C may have no reason to change to C99 or 
C++, and there is no reason to break their code, or even to make them 
flip a special switch ("compatibility mode"). It would just be an 
annoyance, with no corresponding gain.

   If and when they make the change to C++ (or C99, if ever), then 
they will discover that they have a problem, and they can fix their 
code at that time. But that's *their* undertaking, and we shouldn't 
force it on them.
