Hi Ambrose,

thanks for the hint.

The background of my question:

Let's do something silly, namely:

(def falsefalse (Boolean. false))

Then (we have been warned) we get
(if falsefalse :t :f) ==> :t

Reason: Compiler.java#L2569 checks on Boolean.FALSE

But if we use the function boolean, we get
(boolean falsefalse) ==> false

Reason: RT.java#L981 checks on the objects booleanValue

Is this consistent? 

Greetings,
Burt
