Well, just to be fair, rules for flow scoping within expressions g && h already 
exist, but rules for P && g and P & Q do not yet exist.  It’s easy to see that 
they probably should exist, and that this can be done in a manner entirely 
analogous to the way flow scoping is already done in expressions, but it has 
been an implicit assumption in some of the past discussion that is worth making 
explicit.  “Consider it done!”  :-)
