can you enlighten me? The only drawback I see is that with plain C (no 
C++) typedef enum { ... } BOOL; would be more appropriate.

I would propose
#ifndef __cplusplus
typedef enum { false, true } bool;
#endif
as the optimal solution for a problem I hardly have (since I usually 
don't go back to coding in C)

PS: I used to ask: Why does this crash later (if you are lucky)

const char *itoa(int i)
{  char x[20];
    snprintf(x,sizeof x,"%d",i);
    return x;
}
