Can you please point to the paragraph in ISO C 99 that says this?

Also C99 specifies that "The rank of _Bool shall be less than the rank
of all other standard integer types", which can not be fulfilled with
any <stdbool.h> emulation. Similarly for the requirement that
(_Bool) -0.25f == 1.

Thanks, I'm taking this one.

IMO the hassle is bigger if we try to accomodate all compilers with the
same code and without #if.
