I don't think so. What is the outcome of

	false &&  # simulate a regression
	grep foo && exit 1
	! grep bar || exit 1

assuming that the '! grep bar' happens to be true? Answer: The regression
is not diagnosed because the &&-chain is broken.

*That* is what I think you described earlier in this thread as "I put
something failing on the first line of the original version, and the test
succeeded."
