If you're concerned about readability, you leave it as the two tests and
let the compiler worry about the optimal way to implement it.

I kind of doubt that as well, but for a different reason: this is a trick
that isn't that widely known and I'd guess (again with no data) that the
people who know about it know to do it correctly.
