Wow, talk about cryptic...

My only comment:  I don't see what is so great about removing a feature
such as true and false at the expense of readability just to say that
you have a small feature-wise shell.  true and false are a small
feature, but their usage has a long history under UNIX shells.

If you are only referring only to the $&true and $&false primatives and
not the user level initial.es exposed true and false, I have no
complaint.  To be honest, there was so much traffic around here a while
ago that I was unable to keep up, I don't know exactly which level of
features is currently under the knife.
