Both the Emacs and Elisp manuals describe the behavior of ARG as an
integer or a string. But what about anything else?
In `startup.el', `edt-mapper.el', and `tpu-edt.el', for example, we find
(kill-emacs t). How is someone to understand this code?

Itʼs equivalent to exit'ing with EXIT_SUCCESS, without having to worry
about the value of '0' on your platform :-) Not sure how weʼd express
that in the docstring.

Maybe just like that? Is this true only for `t',
or is it true for any non-string, non-number value?
However we say it, I think it should be doc'd. Thx.
