#' T & NA -> F Operator
#' @param left Left side of operator
#' @param right right side of operator
#' @description Replicates `&` behavior, but returns F instead of NA when making comparisons
#' of <exists> & NA. NA & NA still returns missing when comparing equal length
#' vectors.
#'
#' Left and Right sides must be same length, or one of them length 1.
#'
#' Equal length vectors will return vector of point-wise comparisons between the two
#'
#' If left or right is length 1, it compares it to the entire other vector, returning
#' a vector of logicals comparing to each place.
#' @return vector of logicals
#' @examples
#' coming soon
