It seems that the type "bool" defined in stddef.h uses four bytes to
store a truth value!  Witness:

	#include <stddef.h>
	#include <stream.h>

	main()
	{
	  bool x;
	  cout << sizeof (x) << "\n";
	}

When run:

	del:/tmp% g++-1.34.2 -O -g test.cc
	del:/tmp% a.out
	4
	del:/tmp%

This is both about libg++ and about g++ (and, I suppose, about C.)  I
guess I hoped that using enumerated types would at least buy me
objects of the smallest size necessary to hold the correct number of
alternatives.  I am opposed to changing the behavior of features
already established in C, but I would favor the addition of new
aggragate types to provide strongly typed and/or minimum size
enumerations.
