Description

With the latest release (v20250820):

`window.f = x => x ? true : false;`

gets transformed into

`window.f=a=>a?!0:!1;`

A shorter (and to my knowledge, equivalent) expression would be:

`window.f=a=>!!a;`

Similarly,

`window.f = x => x ? false : true;`

should be transformed into

`window.f=a=>!a;`
