No, not I. If all non-nil values are treated the same, then the doc should not
single out `t'. As it stands now, it says "if t, ..." it means ..., which
_suggests_ that that is the case _only_ if t.
Either it is saying the wrong thing (via such a suggestion of "only") or it is
incomplete (saying nothing about other non-nil values).
If what is really meant is "if non-nil,...", then please just say that.
