Delphi is based on Pascal, and from what I can recall from my
university textbook, there isn't any mandatory short-circuit
evaluation in Pascal: it's an implementation-dependent feature.
Consequently, an expression involving boolean operators in such
languages may well evaluate each term (potentially causing side-
effects) before determining the final result.
