Sigh... I know of at least one coding standard that insists on not having bare Booleans in conditionals but instead code of this sort: if (foo == true && bar == false) ... and it's so prolix it drives me crazy (especially if combined with a naming convention for Booleans, so it's obvious from the name that the value in question is Boolean). I feel like I'm in an epistemology class. "If the truth-value of the proposition p is true...." If ! is easy to overlook, what about other unary operators? Perhaps we should write (0 - x) instead of -x, (0xffff ^ x) instead of ~x, and x[0] instead of *x.
