It is not specified whether this function short-circuits or not. In other words, must the remaining arguments be evaluated once one of them is found to be TRUE Since some functions have side effects, it is necessary to define this in order to ensure interoperability.

The same ambiguity applies to the AND function.

Specify if this function allows short-circuit evaluation.
