Looks good, and it's a nice cleanup. Thanks!

I had one style note, which was that you're using an int and 0/1 for a
boolean value, but we like to use proper bools and true/false instead.
However, you're modifying code that was already using an int for related
booleans, so that can be a separate cleanup.
