Since we already have some backward-incompatible changes this
time, I'm inclined to agree the time is right for
OR: "|" -> "||"
AND: "&" -> "&&"
If we do this I'll make an effort to provide what Sven very
reasonably requested some time back, namely good error messages in
case "|" or "&" seem to be used in their old sense, with a
"redirect" to the currently accepted syntax, e.g.
for AND, please use "&&"
