Examples:
```
Error: nu::parser::shell_andand (link)
× The '&&' operator is not supported in Nushell
╭─[entry #1:1:1]
1 │ ls && ls
· ─┬
· ╰── instead of '&&', use ';' or 'and'
╰────
help: use ';' instead of the shell '&&', or 'and' instead of the boolean '&&'
```
```
Error: nu::parser::shell_oror (link)
× The '||' operator is not supported in Nushell
╭─[entry #8:1:1]
1 │ ls || ls
· ─┬
· ╰── instead of '||', use 'try' or 'or'
╰────
help: use 'try' instead of the shell '||', or 'or' instead of the boolean '||'
```
```
Error: nu::parser::shell_err (link)
× The '2>' shell operation is 'err>' in Nushell.
╭─[entry #9:1:1]
1 │ foo 2> bar.txt

╰────
```
```
Error: nu::parser::shell_outerr (link)
× The '2>&1' shell operation is 'out+err>' in Nushell.
╭─[entry #10:1:1]

# User-Facing Changes
**BREAKING CHANGES**
This removes the `&&` and `||` operators. We previously supported by
`&&`/`and` and `||`/`or`. With this change, only `and` and `or` are
valid boolean operators.
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
# After Submitting
If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
We already have the binary `bit-xor` and the shortcircuiting logical
`or`(`||`) and `and`(`&&`).
This introduces `xor` as a compact form for both brevity and clarity.
You can express the operation through `not`/`and`/`or` with a slight
risk of introducing bugs through typos.
Operator precedence
`and` > `xor` > `or`
Added logic and precedence tests.
