They are not Lisp functions -- they are implemented as special forms,
so as not to always compute all their arguments.
That's what makes them useful.

What puzzled me about having a function called `xor' is that it is
merely an ordinary function on truth values, thus NOT simplar in its use
to `and' and `or'.
