  | I don't like hiding errors like this (unless Posix requires it).

No, they don't.  Or I don't think so, it can be tricky to work out
exactly what is required sometimes ... certainly the expression should
not be evaluated if it is not executed, but whether that means it should
not be parsed as well is less clear.
