full description of the issue:
In <4.6 Boolean values> and throughout, capitalize "Boolean" when
referring to that data type in English text. Java's capitalization-
based distinction between the primitive and non-primitive names for
that type, among other things, has made it easy to forget that
Boolean is named after a person, and is therefore a proper noun.
