One final word, for now I have alternate solution to my problem but I 
still think it would be nice to eventually be able to overwrite AND
and OR. I looked at the code a bit and while I don't fully understand 
it, it seems to be using the OP_TEST code to implement AND and OR. Is 
this code also used to implement other operations? in any case I 
suppose it would be necessary to break this op code up into several 
op codes to implement the overwriting properly. Just thinking out 
load again.
