Sorry, I don't think I understand what you are asking for.  Could you
elaborate, or, better yet, show us the modified stdbool.h that you
would like to see?

If you are afraid of _Bool being injected into the namespace, then
this is not a problem, since ANSI C says symbols which begin with an
underscore and an upper-case letter are reserved for the
implementation, and so cannot possibly conflict with user's symbols.
