One last little bit of complexity about this issue. The code for
IfStatement::semantic() in statement.c contains this comment:

    // If we can short-circuit evaluate the if statement, don't do the
    // semantic analysis of the skipped code.
    // This feature allows a limited form of conditional compilation.

If this were actually true, it'd be a strong argument for changing the
behaviour of &&. But I suspect this comment is obsolete.
In version 0.116 and earlier, the code below used to compile:

void main()
{
    if (0) anyoldgarbage();
}

But starting with 0.117, it was rejected. My feeling is that the comment should
be removed from the source, and this bug closed as WONTFIX.
