]- I'm not talking about boolean's... but mostly this can be result of some
expression...
The simplest example is <=> and cmp.... but it also can be some function
call that returns : -1, 0, 1
Let me give you one example (that was the reason for my thouights about
this ):
I have to build a SELECT query and there was three possible combinations to
insert one condition into WHERE part i.e.:
$whereCond = $cond ? ' field > $x AND ' : '' : ' field < $x AND';
$Query = qq{ SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE $whereCond ...};
gotcha...short and clear...

]- yes you are right about this... but in the real live we don't have
real-TRUE and real-FALSE .... let's not go further but i think that things
like semiTrue and semiFalse incorporated in some way into the language will
be very cool addition that no one have...:") .... i'm dreaming here ... &&&
... ||| .... :")

]- sorry, you are may be right again.... :")
