I noticed the Bool datatype isn't well documented. Since Bool is

My only problem with it is that it's called Bool, while every other
programming language on Earth calls it Boolean.
(Or at least, the languages that *have* a name for it...)
Algol 68, C99, C++, C#, Standard ML, OCAML, F#, Clean
all use 'bool', not 'Boolean'. Of course if you want to go
for historical priority, that'd be Fortran's LOGICAL type...
