  I am not sure what you mean by /always/.  I expect my
processor to use short-cut boolean connectors.  And if I
understand correctly net.sf.saxon.expr.BooleanExpression,
Saxon does so.

  On the other hand, it seems (if I understand correctly the
code) that the optimizer will rewrite:

    xxx and my:user-function(yyy)

into:

    if (xxx) then my:user-function(yyy) else false()

  I don't understand why this rewrite is intended to, except
for optimization, but if we have short-cut evaluation yet I
don't see the point here...

  I should have missed something.
