One way of doing it might be to keep "non-nil" in the doc strings but make it a link to an explanation. Like it would have been done on a web page.How to make things clear at both levels, as best as possible with reasonable amounts of effort, calls for a lot of thought. It should not be rushed. This is something people can think about now, but think in terms of doing it after the release.
