Ugh (sorry, Zoltan.)  It occurrs to me that just `&' would do, as it
appears to be unused right now.  But anything we pick is going to be
sufficiently distinct from `,' that it'll be obvious that something
special is going on.  The reason I suggested `&&' was that in C etc.
it implements short-circuit left-to-right conjunction, which is what
we want.
