3. (lower case) The Lisp atom used to represent "true", among other things.
"false" is represented using the same atom as an empty list, nil. This
overloading of the basic constants of the language helps to make Lisp write-only
code.
4. In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for "transaction".
