If all non-nil values are treated the same, then the doc should not single out `t'. As it stands now, it says "if t, ..." it means ..., which _suggests_ that that is the case _only_ if t. Either it is saying the wrong thing (via such a suggestion of "only") or it is incomplete (saying nothing about other non-nil values). If what is really meant is "if non-nil,...", then please just say that.
