Would it? It looks like a small win, unless @b is actually a list
instead of just an array.

Currently, || is a scalar operator. It makes sense that way.

Oh, there are proposals to make

        @a = @b + @c;

do the calculation on an element by element basis. If that is accepted,
I think this should apply to || as well.
