We could. But it is a kludge, and very bad style.

Consider:

Eager logical AND: ( !!(A) & !!(B) )
Eager logical OR: ( !!(A) | !!(B) )

The double logical NOT "normalizes" the range of possible
values to the set (0;1). Thus you could even get away with
using above with expressions of non-integer type, e.g.
pointers. But at least in my book it'd count as "unwanted
chumminess with the C standard". ;-)
