Of true, false and function names.

My application needs to have character representations for TRUE and FALSE, so in one of my packages (FScon) I came up with two cleverly named functions: FScon.true and FScon.false. Outside of the FScon package, no p problem. But *inside* the FScon package, guess what... the literals true and false have now been redefined to reference the FScon functions. Is there anyway, besides renaming the functions, of referencing the PL/SQL boolean values of TRUE and FALSE?
