nil, TRUE, and FALSE in Jess are symbols, which are just
strings. Indeed, what you say -would- make good sense, but would
require some special case code. Considering your last message about
eliminating extra tests from the pattern network (which are -never- a
bottleneck!) I'd think you'd be concerned about adding more special
cases!
Anyway, I'll see what I can do.
