I think this discussion is done, but I wanted to point out
that the above expression is incorrect. It might be valid,
but it would be bad code. A Boolean, when properly used,
should only be compared with true and false (or the result
of another Boolean expression). Therefore "&" is not the
right operator, "&&" is. The reason is similar to why you
would never use ~bool_a, you use !bool_a to invert its value.
