Neil, you forgot one instance. Ada can define the optional very_true, 
almost_true, and true_enough for use in political and pension advisors
software. :-)

(One must not forget the "/" operator which for intel processors can be 
overloaded with "?/"; Plus, finally, the what_do_you_think_it_is, for
artistic and child centred learning software.)

Best regards,
Ian
