Boolean comment:
'I have two instances in the Smalltalk system: true and false.  I provide
methods that are conditional on boolean values, such as conditional
execution and loops, and conditional testing, such as conditional and and
conditional or.  I should say that I appear to provide those operations; 
my subclasses True and False actually provide those operations.' !
