Some terms and words deserve special mention. These conventions should
be used to ensure consistency throughout the documentation:

boolean
Lowercase in most instances.
Uppercase for *Boolean mathematics* and *Boolean logic*.
To refer to the Python or C data type, prefer using the exact,
abbreviated name with appropriate markup (for example, ``:type:`bool```).

C API
Python's `API <https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/>`_ used by C programmers
to write extension modules. All caps and unhyphenated.
