The liberal in me wants register, inline, const, auto, and maybe even
restrict to be removed from the list of C keywords.  gcc & clang-llvm
are so smart nowadays (imo) these keywords are more misused than used
appropriately :(  volatile can never be made useless by a
self-aware/skynet compiler though, haha

I used to define true as ~0

I just didn't see the hurt of avoiding ifn?def when it's only a 1-line
difference, it is more paranoia though. :-)

Ahh I see :-)
