I don't agree with this argument.  We've had problems because
`boolean', `true', and `false' are widely used.  In fact, the comment
on those lines in bfd.h is and has been from the start:

/* I'm sure this is going to break something and someone is going to
   force me to change it.  */

We won't have problems with `bfd_boolean'.
