I simply used my favourite search engine with something such as
   scheme language boolean

In my case the first link is to the racket manual:
   https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/booleans.html

Or this:
   https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse341/02sp/scheme/basics.html

Or the Wikipedia entry:
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_%28programming_language%29

Any kind of search quickly reveals that booleans in Scheme are coded
using #t and #f; whereas to find #true and #false, my impression is that
one already needs to know that these are possibilities. I find their use
more confusing than helpful.

Now if we drop the #t from phases as discussed in the present thread,
that would be even better. I have never been convinced by phases that
always return #t and never #f; what is the point of a return value
if it is not really checked?
