This thread started in c.l.f discussing J3's efforts
to add andthen and orelse operators to Fortran.
J3 was unable to form a consensus regarding the operator precedence,
and tried a different tack.

The way the Fortran standard is written
makes it fairly difficult to delay evaluation
of arguments to operators or to functions.

J3 often examines the way Ada does something when seeking ideas.
Personally, I believe Ada is a very well designed language,
and I'm much more comfortable getting ideas from Ada
than from many other languages.

The fact that others disagree is probably why this thread
now appears beyond c.l.f.
