Sure. That looks like something I recall intending to do and never
getting to. Or maybe I'm imagining it. Anyway, it sounds like a good
idea if it can be done efficiently.

 I'm kind of worried about the performance though -- won't you have to
pay at least for the lookup of __and1__ or __or1__ in the MRO of the
first argument?

Also, given the plans for backporting significant portions of 3.0 to
2.6, why not propose this for 2.6? I see no incompatibilities that
would prevent this. If it is checked in soon enough it should be
straightforward to merge it into 3.0. Backporting after first
implementing it in 3.0 would be more work.
