+1 for the same reason, too.

The asymptotic hit, as you call it, will only hit you if you use what I consider to be the wrong operator. Why would you use .&. and .|. if what you want are && and ||? From the perspective of the Bits concept, Bool is a bitvector that happens to hold only one bit. Why would you expect that to short-circuit? Why would you use it for control flow?
This is exactly my thinking, too. I'm +1 for consistency, potential speed in ostensibly straight-line code, and offering the opportunity specifically for this distinct behavior.
