The variadic AND/OR code was more complex than it needed to be. We can simplify by allowing them to be empty, with well-defined default values (
AND() == TRUE
andOR() == FALSE
), and also by defining staticxx_from
methods for building up lists.While we're at it, replace most uses of
Expr::binary
andExpr::variadic
with direct convenience methods.NOTE: In the spirit of "don't optimize" this PR intentionally does not optimize the various degenerate cases that can arise. These include, but are not limited to (OR cases are similar):
There are probably others as well. Rather than (try to) implement all of those optimizations, or guess which subset of optimizations is "most valuable", we choose to not implement any of them for now.
