Short-circuit tags

It would be nice if tags such as .and and .or would short-circuit and not parse extra tags when not necessary.

For example

<server.flag[check_if_ten_entities_are_looking_at_y_value_78].exists.and[<server.worlds.parse[entities].combine.parse[cursor_on].filter[y.equals[78]].size.is[or_more].than[10]>]>

is slightly inefficient when the flag doesn't exist because of the extra parsing.

For now, there are workarounds available using tern for these two operations but it is obviously less clear
For and: <tern[false].pass[<expensive_tag>].fail[false]>
For or: <tern[true].pass[true].fail[<expensive_tag>]>
