true, false, and null are more correct from a keyword perspective since
you would use foreach, if, else, while, and not FOREACH, IF, ELSE, and
WHILE. The capitalized versions of TRUE, FALSE, and NULL are in the
style of C/C++ preprocessor macros (for those who can't switch between
lowercase and uppercase :)
