> Stellar does not currently contain short circuit operations.  In most languages, this is an important optimization, but for Stellar on Metron, this is a requirement due to the fact that some variables may be null legitimately and we cannot create multi-line conditionals or temporary variables at the moment.
> The short circuit operations supported:
> * short circuited `or` (e.g. true or FUNC(...) would never execute FUNC)
> * short circuited `and` (e.g. false and FUNC(...) would never execute FUNC)
> * short circuited if/then/else (e.g. if true then FUNC(...) else FUNC2(...) will never call FUNC2)
