Boolean classes

The Boolean classes are True and False. Booleans are used in Smalltalk to implement both standard and application-defined control constructs. Although it might seem strange that Smalltalk does not provide any built-in mechanisms for controlling program running, this turns out not to be a limitation. Indeed, it adds a surprising degree of flexibility to the language.
