We seem to depend on "bool" a lot, so might as well keep them that way.

I actually suspect it would be good to make them bitfields if size
matters (and the fact that we use "short" at all implies somebody
thought it did - it's the only real reason to ever use that type).

Of course, if we take the addresses of them (I don't see any, but I
didn't check very closely) bitfields don't work.
