I have a copy of N3220 working draft for reference. In section 6.4.1 "Keywords", "bool" "true" and "false" are listed as keywords. Section 6.4.4.6 "Predefined constants" describes the "true" and "false" keywords. Section 6.7.3 "Type specifiers" contains "bool". (It's no longer "_Bool".) I think I've made all my arguments. Except here I am going to correct your knowledge about "bool" and "_Bool". in C23 "bool" is now a keyword and no longer a macro. "_Bool" and <stdbool.h> are kept for backward compatibility.
