Yes, that is a good choice, but don't we miss out in defining boolean
types using integers?

Because C++ defines bool, we instead can use a subset of types defined
in axis, and use the new additions from C++

BTW, this only affects the interaction through the API. The internal
core will remain the same as C.

Therefore the C++ developers will feel more comfortable dealing with
types derived from bool, when it is a true-false scenario instead of the
AXIS implementation

What do you say?
