They do know the tables. My point is that in C, ^ is always bitwise,
never proper boolean (and you might want to consider why there wasn't
^^ analogous to || and &&). Not that many people with C background
know that in C#, ^ actually works on boolean values the way you'd
expect it to do.

There can NEVER be a ^^ as it is impossible to evaluate a xor term
without looking at both operands!
The funny thing about && and || is that they stop evaluating if the
first operand is satisfactory to know the result.

PS: I like ^, too... ;-)

In C# the short-circuit is the primary difference between & and &&, the
original behavior in C (and matching behavior in C++ and probably also Java
and ECMAScript) other differences are at least as important.
