I'm not arguing that this bit has a true or false value, like any bit.

However, the variable used in osmo-pcu is called "downlink ARQ type",
and clearly there is no type==true or type==false here, right?

I'm not saying we want to use a third value.  I'm saying if a variable
is not named like it is a yes/no or true/false condition, then either
the varialbe must be named differntly to use bool, or the type must
be changed from bool to enum.

no other types.
