Just a quick note, these things are not actually equal, there's
actually a caveat [1] that sometimes comes to haunt me while I sleep.

compare this in C:
  printf("%dn\", 1 ? 0 : 1);

to this in Lua:
  print(true and false or "I'll haunt you while you sleep")

But please, let us not ressurect the Beast [2].
