   . . . I've experimented with aligning && and || vertically with the
   if, and the results seem table-icious so far.  You might experiment
   with this and see what you think.

   -- c

I have been seeing these for a month or so now, but still haven't been
able get used to the fact that this puts the operator(s) left of the
containing open paren.  I know this is my Lisp upbringing talking here,
so I suspect I'm in the minority, but it looks like the operator is
somehow *outside* the parens.  This totally throws me; I find myself
having to stare much harder at these to understand them.

   The problem is that tables are both regular and two-dimensional, but
boolean expressions often aren't either.  What happens if there are
multiple levels of && and || with multiple sets of nested parens?
Methinks that could get pretty ugly pretty fast . . .
