Yes. They are defined as being lazy. I know they are lazy. I like that they are lazy. But now you want to make math operators lazy too?

    Well, I'm not saying I'm on a crusade to make them lazy. But if they were to made lazy, I'd welcome it. It would speed up some code, and I'm pretty sure I don't have much code that will break.
