3. (lower case) The Lisp atom used to represent "true",
among other things. "false" is represented using the same
atom as an empty list, nil. This overloading of the basic
constants of the language helps to make Lisp write-only
code.
4. In transaction-processing circles, an abbreviation for
"transaction".
5. (Purdue) An alternative spelling of "tee".
