Yes, but I meant it in the most abstract, conceptual sense. There is no easy way to replace short-circuit operators in an eager-evaluation language but it can still be done. E.g. "(a() || b())" could be replaced by "or(a, b)", which is quite challenging to do in C, though possible in C++, Python, and other languages which have closures: def or(a, b): r = a() if not r: r = b() return r
