Honestly, you guys. You make things so hard for yourselves. I don't
see why that wouldn't just be:
sub infix:!! ($lhs, &rhs) is equiv(&infix:||) {...}
All closures are lazy by definition, and the &rhs forces the right
side of !! to be a closure. At worst, we'd have to change "sub"
to "macro" to give a special parsing rule to the right side.
