OK, I checked it in.  You can turn the feature on or off with

  do_braindead_shortcircuit_evaluation

By default there is a warning at parse time if an & or | expression is
found in the condition of a WHILE of IF statement.  You can disable
the warning with

  warning off Octave:possible-matlab-short-circuit-operator

If you start Octave with --traditional the feature is enabled and the
warning is disabled.
