Bikeshed. Several of our committers seem to prefer "@c FALSE". I much
prefer "false" because it's easier on the eyes, it's not a requirement
that the caller use this particular preprocessor macro, and it's not a
definition that we need to call attention to or that the reader needs to
follow a cross-reference to.
