Sorry to inject in the thread, but here's more material that uses #t
and #f:
$ guile

scheme@(guile-user)> (= 1 1)
$1 = #t
scheme@(guile-user)> (= 1 2)
$2 = #f
I don't remember ever being confused about #t and #f, so perhaps my
opinion doesn't matter much in this, but I'd prefer #t and #f because
it's already widespread use in Scheme. (And with widespread I mean:
Pretty much all Scheme code I read).
I do remember being confused about the double parenthesis on "let" ;).
Kind regards,
