As discussed on IRC recently, several of us think that using =E2=80=9C#true= =E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9C#false=E2=80=9D instead of =E2=80=9C#t=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9C#f=E2= =80=9D throughout or documentation and code would probably make it easier for newcomers to decipher that. WDYT? This syntax is supported since Guile 2.0. =E2=80=98write=E2=80=99 still us= es the abbreviations, but the good thing is that it means we can change all of gnu/packages without triggering a single rebuild. As for the manual, I=E2=80=99m afraid it=E2=80=99ll make every msgid that c= ontains @code{#t} stale. So maybe now=E2=80=99s not a good time to make this chang= e? Thoughts? Ludo=E2=80=99.
