How to add "and" and "or" conditional operators

[davenewza]

Is it possible to add and and or operators. Ideally we'd replace && and ||, however an override would also be fine. I've been digging through the library and it seems only functions can be added or overridden. is this true? If possible, please could you point me at an example.

Hi @davenewza,

Generally, we prefer one way to do things with CEL, so we don't plan to support and and or at a language level. Currently, we use or as a function within cel.OptionalTypes() to indicate alternative expressions to produce a value, so introducing such operators would be quite painful as part of the core language since we'd have to support it syntactically and it might break some number of existing users.

@TristonianJones thanks for the response. Completely understand your case. Best thing for us to do is rewrite the expression before parsing with CEL.
