Hi, a quick question to those who know.
When I have multiple conditions in one conditional, say #if, all separated
with & (and), will the rest of the conditions be parsed when one is found
false? Or would it be more efficient to have nested conditionals, each with
a single condition?

  Yes. You can test it for example this way:

#declare a=-1;
#if(a>=0 & sqrt(a)<1) #debug "Ok" #end

  It pruces the error message "error: sqrt of negative number -1.000000".

-- 
main(i){char*_="BdsyFBThhHFBThhHFRz]NFTITQF|DJIFHQhhF";while(i=
*_++)for(;i>1;printf("%s",i-70?i&1?"[]":" ":(i=0,"\n")),i/=2);} /*- Warp -*/
