Once I tried that in Python and was told not to exploit unintentional features.
I don't do Python, but it doesn't seem to me like an "unintentional feature":

Note that neither and nor or restrict the value and type they return to False and True, but rather return the last evaluated argument. This is sometimes useful, e.g., if s is a string that should be replaced by a default value if it is empty, the expression s or 'foo' yields the desired value.
