=== Operators: Boolean

==== Boolean Not
Use the `boolean not operator '!'` to NOT a `boolean` type value where `true` is
flipped to `false` and `false` is flipped to `true`.
*Errors*
* If a value other than a `boolean` type value or a value that is castable to a
`boolean` type value is given.
*Truth*

[[equality-equals-operator]]
==== Equality Equals
Use the `equality equals operator '=='` to COMPARE two values where a resultant
`boolean` type value is `true` if the two values are equal and `false`
otherwise. The member method, `equals`, is implicitly called when the values are
reference type values where the first value is the target of the call and the
second value is the argument. This operation is null-safe where if both values
are `null` the resultant `boolean` type value is `true`, and if only one value
is `null` the resultant `boolean` type value is `false`. A valid comparison is
between `boolean` type values, numeric type values, or reference type values.
*Errors*
* If a comparison is made between a `boolean` type value and numeric type value.
* If a comparison is made between a primitive type value and a reference type
value.

==== Identity Equals
Use the `identity equals operator '==='` to COMPARE two values where a resultant
`boolean` type value is `true` if the two values are equal and `false`
otherwise. A reference type value is equal to another reference type value if
both values refer to same instance on the heap or if both values are `null`. A
valid comparison is between `boolean` type values, numeric type values, or
reference type values.
*Errors*
* If a comparison is made between a `boolean` type value and numeric type value.
* If a comparison is made between a primitive type value and a reference type
value.
