  14. I know I'll get flamed for this because my solution isn't exact, but
  15. what about:
  16.  
  17. &&=  ->  *=
  18. and
  19. ||=  ->  +=
  20.  
  21. Like I said, it isn't exact, but if you're just dealing with boolean
  22. conditions and you don't care about the short-circuiting, you should
  23. be fine.

  25. (Yeah, there are other problems:  -1 is TRUE, overflows, etc...)
