The rule only applies to user code, not std::lib headers. In your > testcase sys.h is OK but nonsys.h is not. We can drop the nonsys.h case. It is only testing that the no system_headers case also works (according to your other comment, it will be valid if no system_header is included). My point is that the fix cannot be only limited to tweaking stdbool.h, as long as any C++ mode still defines false as a macro.
