long complicated poll, you will not be paid for this 

For a vector of booleans representing a disjunction, considering these 3 binary operations:

1. Reducing conjunction. Reduces both operands and return the conjunction as a single boolean. Trivial, logical and sane.

2. Expanding conjunction. Returns a matrix representing a disjunction of conjunctions of all pairings of element from each operand (kind of a halfway symbolic computation). Somewhat complicated (essentially matrix multiplication), but still logical, if a bit insane.

3. Element-wise conjunction. Returns a vector containing the conjunction of corresponding elements of two vectors. This vector no longer represents a disjunction unless explicitly converted to original type. Kind of a masking operation. Illogical and insane.

Which operator would you prefer for each?

From the depths of the metaprogramming abyss, where compiler bugs dwell, through relentless perversion emerges an abomination of your choosing. If this all goes horribly wrong, I will blame you, even though you were not paid for this.

me - next time, can we make something at least remotely tangible?
brain - what's the fun in that?
me - how did we even get here?
brain - long story, but basically you lied and we had to fix things to make your lies true.
