A little thought showed me that this is not required.
The straightforward way to write the contract of "!" would be that it is a
monadic function of any type returning true if the operand is the zero
value of that type and false otherwise. It follows that for types with
"implements !" the expression a && b expands to this:
if !!a {return !!a} else {return !!b}
If we want to be more Pythonic and remove the requirement that it return
bool
if !!a {return a} else {return b}
provided a and b are the same type.
