Weird:
MAXIMA> (aliaslookup '$true)
T
MAXIMA> (aliaslookup '$false)
$FALSE
Likely I can monitor my code for an output of $true or $false and take care of this--I'll need to study the nformat code to see
what other changes it makes.

I'm pretty sure the parser (nparse.lisp) converts $true to T, but I no
longer remember how it's done. Perhaps it uses ALIASLOOKUP to get the
ALIAS property that is defined for $TRUE?
For general nformat, I don't know what would reverse it. Maybe run
the parser over the output?
