(Python docs tend to use "true" to mean anything which isn't "false", and where operator.truth returns the right thing. this won't change post-PEP -- if you start interpreting "return true" as "return True", you'll be asking for trouble)

That's right, but see my other note: Guido would like things like this to say "return True", which is different.
