So I didn't apply it back when I saw your patch because I didn't see where you 
addressed/analyzed the second paragraph of hpa's review:

  "The downside with set is that it only sets a single byte, the upside is that it 
   always outputs 0 or 1, and apparently if the output variable is your bool gcc 
   can use that for optimization."

That's a valid concern and should be addressed.

Thanks,
