/**
 * Models what ANSI-SQL terms a <i>truth value.  Specifically, ANSI-SQL defines TRUE, FALSE and
 * <tt>UNKNOWN as truth values.  These truth values are used to explicitly check the result of a
 * boolean expression (the syntax is like <tt>a > b IS TRUE.  IS TRUE is the assumed default.
 * <p/>
 * JPA defines support for only <tt>IS TRUE and IS FALSE, not IS UNKNOWN (a > NULL
 * is an example where the result would be UNKNOWN).  All 3 are provided here for completness.
