[Fish-users] 'and' and 'or' now use infix syntax

[Axel Liljencrantz]

Of, I have added a patch to the Darcs version of fish which changes the syntax of 'and' and 'or' to:

make; and make install; or make uninstall

I've also added a patch that gives more helpful error messages when trying to use Posix short circut operators:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/c/c/fish_current> pwd || whoami
fish: Expected a command string, got token of type 'Pipe'.
pwd || whoami
     ^
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/c/c/fish_current> pwd && whoami
~/code/c/fish_current
fish: Expected a command string, got token of type 'Run job in background'.
pwd && whoami
     ^
Job 0, 'pwd &' has ended
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/c/c/fish_current>

You will notice in the above example that 'pwd && whoami' actually launches 'pwd &' in the background. Maybe fish should do a syntax check on the whole commandline and reject all of it instead?
