It's the same with && and ||:
➜ &infix:<&&>(1, -> {say 2}); # 2
➜ say 1 && -> {say 2}; # -> { #`(Block|169403552312) ... }
➜ &infix:<||>(0, -> {say 2}); # 2
➜ say 0 || -> {say 2}; # -> { #`(Block|786414142008) ... }
And also with the loose-precedence versions `and`, `or`, `xor`.
And also with `xx`:
➜ &infix:<xx>(-> {say 2}, 2)
2
2
➜ say -> {say 2} xx 2
(-> { #`(Block|315591575136) ... } -> { #`(Block|315591575208) ... })
I.e., it's apparently a general rule for "thunky" operators.
Whether it's intentional, I don't know.
The design docs don't mention it:
