What, "~true" isn't a good replacement for "not true"? A
boolean has a
single bit so bitwise negation on booleans makes sense...

Just tested:
Lua 5.3.3 Copyright (C) 1994-2016 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
; ~true
stdin:1: attempt to perform bitwise operation on a boolean value
stack traceback:
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: in ?
; -true
stdin:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on a boolean value
stack traceback:
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: in ?
; not true
false
(that is the standard REPL, I just changed the prompt for convenient
copy/paste.)
