However, I want to circle back around to the discussion of the
short-circuited AND.  We can't eliminate the usage on IF/WHEN, etc., but on
the other hand, there are certainly contexts where an and operator that uses
short-circuit logic might be useful.  One could argue that an OR version
could also be useful.  I don't believe this is possible for XOR, since the
result always depends on both values.  Are there any operator combinations
that would make sense?  Doubling up obviously doesn't work because && and ||
are already operators.  

Another thought:  perhaps 
 
  ,&  and ,|
 
are the bail-out AND and OR,
 
and in IF and WHEN context ',' expression separator "implies" the OR (|).
 
So:
 
   If a=b ,| c=d then ...
 
would be identical to:
 
   if a=b, c=d then ...
