But FALSE and TRUE are not keywords.

<http://www.sqlite.org/lang_keywords.html> says that

While <http://www.sqlite.org/lang_expr.html#booleanexpr> says that
| SQLite recognizes the *identifiers* "TRUE" and "FALSE" as boolean

In other words, TRUE and FALSE behave like predefined global variables.
