the concept of a native _Bool seems fuzzy. the important thing for the struct module is to consume sizeof _Bool bytes from the input stream. how those are interpreted is up to the platform. So if the platform says a bool is 8 bytes and it only ever looks at the lowest bit in those for bool-ness, good for it. in that situation our unittest assuming that b'\xf0' should be true when interpreted as a bool is wrong. just get rid of that value from the loop in the test?
