In fact it *is* different. We do not have two literal boolean values but we do
have numeric literals.

While the constructors true() and false() give us a *unique* representation of
all possible boolean values, introducing functions to represent numerical
constants results in a *redundant* representation for some numerical values.

Maybe we should be aware that there are some issues arising from redundancy?
