This is not a stylistic nono. K&R 2 specifies that. The only compiler
that used to return -1 for TRUE [I am showing my age again, I should
stop bringing up historical facts] was an early version of a compiler
for the Macs that shall remain unnamed.

There is more code in the kernel that uses my pet peeve stylistic nono:

	value = !! expression;

instead of:

	value = expression != 0;

I hate to have to always have think about the double negation, but
then I might be just dumb.
