Details:

As can be read in the docs, 
the operator & is defined by the function 'and' 
and likewise the operator | by the function 'or'. 
The short circuit operators && and || are not tied to a function. 
This is not a bug because it is the same in matlab. 

Nevertheless, it makes it impossible to overwrite the operators && and ||. 
This is exactly what I want to do 
because I define a polyvalued logic with object oriented means. 

I suggest to define a function andSeq and orSeq 
for sequential evaluation tied to && and ||, respectively.
