Hello,

Yes, I did, and if you read my responses you can see that I came to
the realisations you describe.  I don't think that anyone suggested
there was a bug.

Regarding this I'm a bit confused.  In the case of an OR operator, $b
is not "bar" because it follows the "true" path as you said earlier.
Probably just a glitch in the English language.  I'll file a bug for
that.
