[racket-dev] #true and #false

I agree. As far as students go, I've found that my PLAI students
(juniors) adapted very fast to #t and #f from the teaching languages
and that even they accidentally try to quote true and false within the
single week I teach them with the student languages. So overall I
think that #true and #false are good there and I don't see any problem
with them being available elsewhere... just not the default.
