Note that $Conditions has to be an array of *expression strings* (i.e.,
things that can be evaluated), not constants.  So, the following 
settings would be better:

    $Conditions['true'] = 'true';
    $Conditions['false'] = 'false';    # PmWiki already has 'false' by default

I'm presuming that in the second one you meant to write [:if false:],
and the final [:if:] is missing its second colon.

For symmetry I think I'm going to go ahead and add $Condition['true']
to PmWiki's defaults.
