In Delphi, which is my primary language, there is a compiler switch. If
you say {$B+} that means you want all boolean expressions to evaluate
completely. If you say {$B-}, that means you want to "short-circuit"
them: F and X always equals to F, T or X always equals to T whatever X
is, therefore, in {$B-} state the compiler would not evaluate X at all.
Could that be implemented in NetRexx?
