False is easy to define: zero. True can never be reasonably defined
without an actual operation being done: since true is only defined
as not zero.
True = inval & -1;
This assumes that a negative one is stored as all ones, ofcourse, and
True must be calculated for every inval given to it. It would have
been so much easier if true was actually defined somewhere.
