No. Even if you could, you would not get your three-state logic.

Many. If you want a special meaning, why not write methods? Instead of

   a and b

you could write

   a.my_special_and(b)

If you want that to operate on many arguments, how about

   my_special_and(a,b,c,d)

Provided you have the right syntax, how are you going to implement it?
It is easy to block, it is not that easy to unblock.

Martin
