IIRC, in VMS DCL even numbers were false and odd numbers were true.
In Unix shells, a return code of 0 is true and non-0 is false.
Though that's not really the
May I point out that some dynamic situations can in a sense be normalized?
The example below posits a dynamically allocated dictionary during run time.
But why can't you have a placeholder variable name in place and make your
placeholder a link to the dictionary (or other item) before invoking

Interestingly, I wonder if anyone has
designed an alternate object type that can be used mostly in place of
Booleans but which imposes changes and restrictions so trying to add a
Boolean to an integer, or vice versa, results in an error. Python is
