That's the point. :-)

So i think. I think Ord(TRUE), Succ(FALSE), etc. are valid Standard and
Extended Pascal expressions, as well as the behaviour of a declarion of type
TBoolArray = array[boolean] of ... is neatly defined in the very language.
(At least in Modula-2, that enumeration is part of the standard, so it's a
language feature and not compiler implementation dependant).
