I have no idea why they are not exposed, of course. but my guess would
be because there is no boolean type, there is no need for them.  I
myself have never needed a boolean type, "zero" or "empty" have always
worked for me as a boolean false.

What are they used at the C level for?

Does mx.Tools offer a boolean type?
