set -e again

[David Holland <dholland-tech%netbsd.org@localhost>]

I discovered the following today.

This:
   set -e
   f() {
       echo foo
       false
       echo bar
   }
   f

as one might expect, prints "foo" and exits.

However, this:
   set -e
   f() {
       echo foo
       false
       echo bar
   }
   f || echo baz
   echo buzz

prints "foo", "bar", "buzz", and continues. Furthermore, all the
shells I have in easy reach agree on it.

This seems wrong - the exit status of the f is guarded, but the false
is not. But also, the fact that everybody agrees makes me think it's
probably the agreed result of the last round of POSIX wrangling over
the -e definition some years back.

Is this intended, and is there a way to get the user's intended
behavior of exit on unchecked failure back? (E.g. is there a different
set to get functions to return on unchecked failure that might cover
this?)
