boolean operators (||, &&) allowed in return values (for non-boolean return values)

[thehowl]

example:

package main

func main() {
	println(X())
	println(Y())
	println(Z())
}

func X() string {
	return "alfa" || "beta"
}

func Y() byte {
	return 0 || 9
}

func Z() [1]bool {
	return [1]bool{true} && [1]bool{false}
}

this program executes with gno run with the following output:

alfa
0
array[(true bool)]

It seems to me that only the first expression is evaluated & returned.

I first discovered this as I made a typo in this function. I intended to do a bitwise OR, then I noticed some weird behaviour elsewhere and noticed that the return expression contained this || while it was not allowed.
