Is there a chance to use short-circuit (as in c and other prog langs) conditional evaluation in NEURON?

Take this example

oc> func a(){ print "a called" return 0}
oc> func b(){ print "b called" return 0}
oc> if( a() && b() ) print "none"
a called
b called

Once a() returned 0 there was no need to evaluate b().
Not only short-circuit evaluation is more efficient, but sometimes makes coding easier.

You are right. It does make coding easier and it should have been done that way from the beginning and would have been if I had spent a bit more effort on the extra stack machine logic required. Sadly, I think the legacy code problems prevent just changing the current behavior so one is forced to use the idiom and something exceedingly vile for the
|| case.
