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.
