This was about overloading &&, || and !, right? It's not a random feature. It's a logical consequence of the operator overloading system. Leaving them out is arbitrary. You will never convince me that a potentially useful feature should be left out because it could potentially be abused. By the way, I did think of a compelling use-case just yesterday. Boost has a three-valued bool type. true, false and maybe. Seems pretty logical to overload the boolean operators for it. -- Michiel Helvensteijn
