if this and that () then
    ..
end if

If this was false then that () wouldn't even be called, however in those
cases where this is true then that () is called. Short-circuited it says:

if this then
    if that () then
        ..
    end if
end if

In other words, short-circuiting is a very clumbsy things and results in
very weird errors and it is very inconsistent.

The that () function should always be called.
Please, don't implent short-circuiting.
