I would never do !if (anything == TRUE)! or !if (anything == FALSE)!. Not
only is it redundant, but it obscures the meaning of the code. If you have
a boolean-valued variable, it's clearer to say !if (anything)! or, for that
matter, !if (!anything)!.

The only think I use TRUE and FALSE for is:

	boolean = TRUE;
	return TRUE;
	function(..., TRUE, ...);
