I think you are correct, but only because of the psychology of
affordances: you wrote "@true, @false", not "@false, @true".
I use the same mental ordering, so I expect it would be a
common bug.
I think that c<cull> would be an abysmal name: that implies
"keep the false ones". I'm not sure that there is a synonym
for "boolean partition" though. Perhaps we need some help
from a linguist! ;)
