For any particular reason? Erm, NO.

You asking me whether we should bastardize the semantics of the language in a
similar way to perserve sequence ops? Erm, NO.

PS Short-circuiting works exactly the same in if and while statements, of
course, but different in assignment statements, I think you meant.

PPS I have yet to find a single example in live code where non-short-ciruit in
assignment is actually taken advantage of - anyone know of any?

PPPS Short circuiting works exactly the same in if, while, and assignment
statements etc in Positive, albeit maybe 2.57 times slower than Eu2c'd stuff,
plus hitches, but I work on that, and gain ground every day .
