As in, not only does it\ncompile, it also doesn't crash!\n\nThe other workarounds (defining a stdbool of some kind) create a Perl\ninterface that crashes on use.\n\nIs there anything Vim can do about this? Maybe just putting it in the help\nsomewhere, or some sort of #error that suggests a fix, or something? Or\nwill this just need to be \"tribal knowledge\"?\n"}}
