It was just a simple code snippet to indicate bool can be quickly added.
I agree, it should not be used exactly as mentioned since the naming is
too generic. OP can chose whether to use stdbool.h or add 3 lines to his
code, to me this is just a moot point.
No, C99 and stdbool.h are much more than that. It simply defines bool to be
_Bool which is not same as integer typedef you define.
_Bool is a full fledged boolean variable that can convert other values to 1
or 0 when stored according to standard rules in a transparent way. In fact
one need not use stdbool.h if one is happy with typing _Bool. (but not
recommended)
