I want to keep isolated the boolean value definition from other
external libraries/platforms to ensure we will not be bothered
in future by such issue.

Although gentle libraries/systems/applications will not cause
the problem, imcompatible definition is still available such as
following way.

extern void *TRUE
extern void *FALSE

void *TRUE = intern("TRUE");
void *FALSE = intern("FALSE");

I'm afraid of such unknown platforms. Remind that uim is not
only for open desktop environment.
