"A but B" &lt;=&gt; "A and !B". Which, scarily enough, is equivalent to "!(A -&gt; B)" (A implies B, or "if A, then B"). Which, if you think and squint, makes a weird kind of sense.

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="-2"&gt;Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.&lt;br&gt;Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.&lt;br&gt;Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.&lt;br&gt;Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, &lt;i&gt;is &lt;b&gt;untested&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
