In our own tests, when we're unit testing methods that are expected to
return a Boolean, we use `eq(true)`, etc. to guarantee we're getting a
genuine Boolean result back. If we're using Ruby's "anything non-nil
evaluates to true" in conditionals, etc., we're more concerned with the
higher-level outcome of those decision tress. So be_truthy and be_falsy
shouldn't appear in our test suite.

...In theory, at least. In practice, I just did a quick search and a couple
have snuck in after our recent upgrade from Rspec 3.0beta to release.
Oopsie.
