I think it's reasonable, except for the potential confusion of having
*three* "and" operators. The one with the word is never going to
change - its semantics demand that it not be overridable. When should
you use & and when &&? Judging by how @ has gone, I think the answer
will be simple: "Always use &, unless the docs for some third-party
library say to use &&", in which case I think it should be okay.
