Is this boolean behavior intentional?

true-value

Same issue with when, and when-not as well. IOW, (aget some-boolean-
array some-index) is treated as returning true even if the actual
return value of aget is false.

The problem is that the Java reflection APIs return new Boolean values
other than the canonic Boolean.TRUE and Boolean.FALSE when boxing
booleans, but for efficiency only canonic false is logical false in
Clojure. Apparently, Array.get also falls into this category, so I had
to fix up all Boolean returns from Array.get

Ah, I thought it might have something to do with the boxing. Thanks
for looking into this so quickly.
