Simple fix that addresses this line from the spec:

> It is a compile-time error if a when expression is a constant expression ([15.29](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se18/html/jls-15.html#jls-15.29)) with the value false.

Extracts one small utility method `isBooleanWithValue` in `TreeInfo`.
