On my taste, YES (yes) and NO (no) are much better,
TRUE and FALSE are too long, conceited and bumtious
for such a simple thing as just boolean test.
Then, TRUE and FALSE are very widespread, they
will probably need a namespace prefix here.

Again, on my taste, OK (ok) or ANY (any) are much better,
VOID is too long and is one of the ambiguous C-words,
it is absolutelly meaningless in Euphoria.
And new-VOID has to be with prefix too.
