I'm having some trouble with for loops and 'or'. My assumption was that or would evaluate what's on the left, and if it wasn't true what's on the right... I guess this isn't true. So I'm asking what's going on? In real code, 1..11 is the string, but 1..10 could be an array or array slice... 
print for (1..10 or 1..11);

why does that print 1..11? If I want I want to print what's on the right, if what's on the right doesn't evaluate as true, is the other option ternary operators? {print for (1..10 ? 1..10 : 1..11);) If you can use an 'or' instead of ternary operators, is it faster?
