We are still talking about short circuits?
For bitwise conditions. It can be larged based on only compiler/
interpreter but machine word size. This is in fact, a could be a
common bug in code:
if (a & b) .... versus if ((a & b) == b) ....
depending on the language compiler/interpreter, the machine word size
and the language word size. The latter is 100% guarantee to be
correct, the former, you typically is ok, but you can not be confident
that it will be.

Is that basically because there is only one JavaScript source everyone
is using? :-)
