Shouldn't this simply use _Bool?

Well, it is (now) just a typedef of it. :)

But I find it better, both because it is more similar to the common types:
short, lowlettered words. But also because most editors with highlightning
recognize "bool", but not "_Bool", as a type (as I found it).

<stdbool.h> should include:

typedef _Bool bool;
#define true  1
#define false 0

There is no enum involved.
