Does it round towards zero, or towards negative infinity?

Oh good. The book /insists/ that left-to-right order is guaranteed. Nice 
to know that in addition to being poorly explained, it's also factually 
inaccurate. :-P

A better way might be to think of true and false as 1 and 0. (Although 
of course C allows true to be /anything/ that isn't 0, not just 1.)

I'm currently trying to work out how I can compile a program where 
module 1 refers to module 2, but module 2 also refers to module 1. As 
far as I can figure out, this is impossible...
