[New-bugs-announce] [issue29709] Short-circuiting not only on False and True

[Stefan Pochmann]

New submission from Stefan Pochmann:

The notes at https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#boolean-operations-and-or-not say that `or` "only evaluates the second argument if the first one is False" and that `and` "only evaluates the second argument if the first one is True". Should say "false" and "true" instead of "False" and "True".
