 The Boolean operators \code{and} and \code{or} are so-called
-\emph{shortcut} operators: their arguments are evaluated from left to
-right, and evaluation stops as soon as the outcome is determined.

 It is possible to assign the result of a comparison or other Boolean
 expression to a variable.  For example,
