Better to say: singletons are classes. But True and False are not
classes (no '__base__' attribute, for instance) so they are not
singletons. 

I think using smallcaps would have been more consistent.
BTW, I would have been favorable to "Staticmethod", "Classmethod", "Super",
etc. since they are all classes. But it is useless to protest now :-(
