Are false & true reserved words ?

I was trying to set up an enum with false and true, but I keep getting 'enum member expected'.

If I change it to False and True it works.

They are keywords.  This is in the "Lexical Grammar" page:

I hope that somebody makes the docs searchable; as it is, it's really hard to find the "exact right answer" if you don't know where to look.

Aargh Walter, it is already happening!
C's bad old days are creeping back at us.
I already defined TRUE and FALSE... (actually
joking, but I *might* have!)

Could you bring us some clarity on the bool, bit,
false, true issue?

P.S. See also the thread To bool or not to bool,
that's the question...

true and false are defined and are keywords.
