I'm not sure. It's pretty darn nasty that right now we fail in some
places in the code if stdbool.h is included previously. That's probably
going to become more and more common. On the other hand it's invasive,
as you say. Partially patching things doesn't seem like a really viable
approach to me, bugs caused by this are hard to find/trigger.
