Just a quick note, these things are not actually equal, there's
actually a caveat [1] that sometimes comes to haunt me while I sleep.

compare this in C:
   printf("%dn\", 1 ? 0 : 1);

to this in Lua:
   print(true and false or "I'll haunt you while you sleep")
That's exactly the type of caveat I wasn't sure if would come up. In retrospect, it does make sense considering the fact that they're logical operators.
