Patch and bugfix to extend short circuiting.

The attached patch extends the short circuit handling to more efficiently
bypass unnecessary sub-expressions.  At the same time the patch fixes check
syntax errors related to short circuiting.

Based on benchmarking with function evaluation and variable lookup hacked off,
the extended short circuiting results in a ~20% improvement in parser speed for
typical cases.

Regarding the syntax check bug:

Currently short circuiting allows some expressions to pass syntax validation
even though they contain unknown keywords.  An example of such an expression is
"added_lines & applesauce", which validates as okay even though "applesauce" is
meaningless.

This patch includes logic that fixes this short circuiting bug.
