Small tangent, but I think it's unlikely that Apple will change the
definition of BOOL of signed char to C99 _Bool. They already missed
ripe opportunities to do this with x86_64, iOS armv6 and armv7.
Perhaps the new enhancement request we should be filing is to
encourage the use of _Bool in all new APIs moving forward, especially
in new frameworks. (It's not completely unprecedented; I've seen some
other bool types used in the other Apple frameworks, plus we had that
whole int->NSInteger change not too long ago.)
