A while back, due to a typo, I realized you could use &! in ruby statements:

  if this? &! that?

was the same as

  if this? && !that?

I've scoured all of the ruby operator docs I can find with no mention of it anywhere.

Interestingly, this works:

  if this? & ! that?

but this does not:

  if this? & & that?

If I ack the ruby source, I don't see &!, but I do see a ton of &&!

Wat? Now I'm curious. Anyone know the innards of ruby enough to enlighten me?
