I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but it's not easy
searching for this topic in the archives.

What's the position on using && syntax for doing multiple commands
depending on the exit status of the previous. The current usage of
'and'/'or' builtins is awkward at best, kind of reminds me of the old
calculators where you entered the operator first and then the numbers.

It especially makes it hard to nest logic:
    or and make; make install; make clean
vs.
   make && make install || make clean

Keep up the good work. Fish definetly has some good qualities over older shells!
