The nil literal is written just like the type: `()`. The keywords
`true` and `false` produce the boolean literals.

Closures begin with the argument list between bars and are followed by
a single expression. The types of the arguments are generally omitted,
as is the return type, because the compiler can almost always infer
them. In the rare case where the compiler needs assistance though, the
