Well, it's a question of whether I build my own or not, and then getting it
deployed on servers I don't control, which are both pains. If it's just
True/False I'd like to beg for relief. (I've already hacked in "True = 1
False = 0" into several of the scripts since that was the only immediate
complaint.)
