    Just in case the value of true changes?

    It's for minification.

    Hmmph. Stylistically, it reminds me of a lot of Java code I've seen. Getter functions for every property!

    I wrote a quick unit test for that:

    expect(getTrue()).to.equal(true);

    Thank me later.

    That's valid and useful when you're using higher-order functions. E.g. You're passing in a function that's expected to return a bool, but you want to always return true.

    It implies that there might be some optimisation possible, but it's certainly not mad or wrong.
