I don't believe that. False is  a value that is a perfectly valid return 
from a function. Nil is the absence of value, so returning nil means the 
function could not produce a result. In other words, I need to 
distinguish between a functio returning the value false, and a function 
unable to return a value.

Now the question is, why i'm saying this to Roberto? :D
