Feature #153
Shorter simpler names for some bool3 values and functions
Description
We need shorter names for IsDefinitelyTrue and IsDefinitelyFalse.
Also need a shorter way of expressing the constant values DefinitelyTrue and DefinitelyFalse. If there is auto conversion from bool then we can use just true and false; we could be more explicit via bool3(true) and bool3(false) -- these latter two are already possible. Of course, plain true and false are much more compact, though possibly open to misinterpretation by a careless reader of code [but a careless reader gets what he deserves, right? ]

Proposal for shorter names: IsTrue3 and IsFalse3 and IsUncertain3
Propose replacing DefinitelyTrue, DefinitelyFalse and uncertain with true3, false3 and uncertain3 respectively.
Also try moving the enum outside so the user does not need to specify the bool3:: prefix every time.

Implemented the last suggestion, that way we can try it. Remember that bool3 may eventually be replaced by tribool.
The only thing missing is a good example prog for bool3. I'll close the issue when a good example has been created.

I've written a simple example -- I hope Alessandra Caleo likes it!
