[PATCH v2 0/3] C99: declare bool experiment a success

From: Phillip Wood <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-15 13:53:13

From: Phillip Wood <redacted>

We've had a test balloon for C99's bool type since 8277dbe987
(git-compat-util: convert skip_{prefix,suffix}{,_mem} to bool,
2023-12-16). As it has been over 18 months since this was added and
there have been no complaints let's declare it a success and convert
the return type our other string predicates to match.

Thank you to everyone who commented on V1, the only change here is
to fix the typos in the commit message for patch 2.

         int makes it clear that these functions are predicates.
