[BUG] Logical AND

Hi Eddie,

I don't know if it is a usage or not, but I call "Boolean" operations done at integer value level, and "bitwise" operations done at bit level.

AND, OR and NOT are said to be Boolean.
BITAND, BITOR, BITNOT and BITXOR are said to be bitwise (operations done at bit level.

So:
3 OR 5 => 1, Boolean as expected
BITOR(3,5) => 7, bitwise as expected
but
#3 OR #5 => #7, bitwise not as expected
BITOR(#3,#5) => #7, bitwise as expected

in order to get OR to act Boolean, one have to resort to:
(#3 <> #0) OR '#5 <> #0)

Unfortunate behavior!
