digitalmars.D - Short-circuit evaluation in D

Hello. From http://dlang.org/expression.html#OrOrExpression and the 
subsequent AndAndExpression section it is clear to me that D does indeed 
employ short-circuit evaluation true to being part of the C family.

But I am disappointed to note that D is not mentioned at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-circuit_evaluation.

I would edit it myself but the table also mentions eager operators and I'm 
not sure whether D has any such operators i.e. whether & and | are supposed 
to be eager in D as they are said to be (as per the table) in C++.

So I request someone more knowledgeable about D than me to do the edit and 
respond here too.

Thanks.

&& and || short circuit. &, | and ^ do not short circuit.
