I actually had a use case for this [Or I am a politician] Scheme had two True-s #T was the proper true and plain T was the legacy from Lisp which was deprecated. To make sure students would use #T and not T I had sneaked in somewhere [dont exactly remember where/how] a (set! T nil) ie T = nil As far as I was concerned it was moving from deprecation to all-out error However 2 decades later and some of those (victims) still remember: You made TRUE into FALSE!! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
