actually, thanks for bringing this up as it leads up to a question:

how in swift do i define my &&& operator (that i may need for whatever
reason, e.g. logging) that will short-circuit
the calculation of right hand side if the left hand side is false?

infix operator &&&: LogicalConjunctionPrecedence

func &&&(left: Bool, right: Bool) -> Bool {
return left && right
}

as written it doesn't short-circuit. is it possible at all in swift?
