I have to disagree with this.  && and || are guaranteed to be left to right
just as much as (1 && 1) is guaranteed to return true.  This is a very
important feature of C and makes tests like
	if (x != NULL && strcmp(x, "foo"))
reasonable.  If there are compilers out there that don't do && and || left
to right, then they are broken.  I'm not going to rewrite conditionals like
that example (as nested ifs!) to accomodate *broken* compilers!

	In C, && and || ARE GUARANTEED to be evaluated left to right!!
