# verum — Represents the true boolean value and can prefix a truthiness check.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
# • Boolean literal — `verum` as the canonical `true` value for `bivalens` type
# • Truthiness prefix — `verum` can prefix an expression for explicit truthiness checking
#
# Common mistakes:
# • confusing verum (the true literal) with non nihil (a null check) — verum is a boolean value, not a presence test
#
# See also: falsum, nihil
# =============================================================================
# verum — true literal
#
# GRAMMAR:
# literal :← 'verum'
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
# Scalar stdout smoke (see body).
