I'd expect nil and false to be swapped in the above scheme. In logic
false is the opposite of true. Nil is untrue, but it is not false.
Suppose, [for a moment of madness :-)], that you woke up one day to
find you'd given us Fuzzy truth values as a native Ruby class. :-)
Nil would still be different from a truth value of 0.5, and would
mean that nothing could be said about the truth value. So I think
things which are proper truth values should be used for positive and
negative results, and nil for the third case.
This also fits any mental TTL[1] metaphor people might have: true ==
high, false == low, and nil == tristate.
But I wonder how much code would break if this path were taken...
