How? Are you referring to the short-circuit? C# allows
overloading the short-circuit operators by doing it in two
parts - in pseudocode:

a and b: a if a.__false__() else a & b
a or b: a if a.__true__() else a | b

There's no fundamental reason short-circuiting "demands" that it
not be overridable, just because C++ can't do it.
