I use

    use constant FALSE => !TRUE;

which is what Perl uses as the value of booleans that evaluate to
false.

I like the idea lots.

I also like the proposition of having GTK_STOCK_*, and I think
all of Joe Smith's constants would be nice to have as well
(though I'm not keen on the StudlyCaps).
