[Omaha.pm] Using ||

[Brian Edwards]

short circuit is good 

j is correct - precedence counts

what's more readable?

$o_RS->determine_room_type($req_room_type) ||
$o_RS->determine_room_type();

$o_RS->determine_room_type($req_room_type) 
||  $o_RS->determine_room_type();

$o_RS->determine_room_type($req_room_type) ||  
  $o_RS->determine_room_type();

hope they don't line wrap
(1 \n after or)
(2 \n before or)
(3 \n after and indented 2 \x20)
