I have a hard time imaging how that could have come to be, but if it's
true I'd say the unoptimized code was plain wrong. The dumbest
possible way to implement `f() and g()` is also the correct ;-) way:
result = f()
if not bool(result):
result = g()
For the thing you really care about here, the language guarantees `a`
will be evaluated before `b` in:
'{}{}'.format(a, b)
but I'm not sure it says anything about how the format operations are
interleaved. So your proposed transformation is fine by me (your #3:
still evaluate `a` before `b` but ignore that the format operations
may occur in a different order with respect to those).
