well, I didn't follow this thread very closely (and I don't know if it 
is "officially" closed :-) but I suddenly thought about "yes". what about:

   $x = not $a or $b; # vs
   $x = yes $a or $b;

   $yesno = yes any(@foo) == any(@bar);

may not be gramatically correct English, but isn't it intuitive enough?

cheers,
Aldo
