Thanks!  I'm glad to know that one can get the short circuiting
using a map-type idiom.  (I prefer map over comprehensions when I
don't need to define a function just for the purpose of passing it
to it.)

And thanks also to the other repliers for pointing out that the
comprehension version does what I was asking for.
