  Also, "and" and "or" in Lua short-circut evaluation.

	if foo() and bar() then ... end

if foo() returns false, bar() is not called (because the rest of the
expression can never be true)

	if foo() or bar() then ... end

if foo() returns true, bar() is never called (because the expression as a
whole is true)
