Previously only Arduino's type alias, boolean was documented. In this case it's arguable that the benefits of a slightly more descriptive type name outweigh the disadvantages of using a non-standard type. For that reason documenting bool and recommending its use instead of boolean is desirable.

Previously only Arduino's type alias, boolean was documented.
In this case it's arguable that the benefits of a slightly more descriptive type name outweigh the disadvantages of using a non-standard type. For that reason documenting bool and recommending its use instead of boolean is desirable. Accompanying this documentation change will be a move to use bool instead of boolean in all of the official Arduino code.
