minor nit: If you use a .gitorderfile to list .h before .c it will help review them in
order.

I don't know if its even worth doing this manual compaction unless you are
storing the entire struct in some flash or its in a sensitive cache
thrashing structure.

bool is useful that it makes the code easier to read and can eliminate some
class of bugs that you would otherwise use !! operator.
