using setjmp

Yeah but that breaks my "no numbers except zero" rule. Besides,
sometimes 1 looks like l (ell).

ITYM == 0 and != 0 work well for false and true checking.

ITYM == 0 and != 0 work well for false and true checking.

They should. Any software that does true/false should work on a two level
method... Subroutines should return 1 for true, 0 for false. However when
we test for true/false we should be looking for 0 = false, anything else =
true. That way we catch even the misbehaving stuff.

It's kinda interesting to see how the debate over this rages on, yet nobody
ever gets around to talking about the difference between "what you return"
and "what you test for"... Go figger.
