As do I, up to a point. For something like:

   @foo = @bar || @baz;

I have no problem with the call sequence looking like (pseudo-codish here):

    set_context(ARRAY, ASSIGN);
    foo->store(bar->log_or(bar, baz));

and having the log_or function do whatever it deems appropriate with its 
arguments, up to and including a stringified version of Larry's kids names 
in kanji...
