I have one idea that would be nifty to implement. In some compilers, you
can turn off complete boolean checking. As soon as any part of an
expression will invalidate the expression, it stops evaluating all of it.
That can help you avoid division by zero, and keeps you from evaluating
parts of the expression that don't matter. It sounds like a good idea, at
least to an ignoramus like me. : )
