While reviewing PEPs, I stumbled over PEP 335 ( Overloadable Boolean Operators) by Greg Ewing.

-1. "and" and "or" affect the flow of control. It's a matter of taste, but I feel the benefit is too small here to add another flow-control quirk. I like that part of the language to be simple.

Anyway, if this is done, logically it should cover "(... if ... else ...)" as well. Same use cases.
