Hi,

Good point. I was thinking about this potential problem, too. This is
why the mentioned function contains the following line (sadly too far
off to occur in the patch):

| bitval = !!bitval;              /* map parameter to {0,1} */

I put that separately to not make the below lines even more unreadable.

But as a boolean inverse has to be used anyway, your solution looks more
elegant than mine.

Greetings, Phil
