PR #1498: Completing Support for Boolean Reverse Operators

Today, I wanted to share another Quantinuum Guppy contribution: completing support for boolean operations.

The problem: Guppy’s boolean type was missing reverse operator methods (__rand__, __ror__, __rxor__). This meant expressions like True & my_bool wouldn’t work as expected when the left operand wasn’t a Guppy boolean.

The fix: In PR #1498, I added the missing reverse boolean operators to match Python’s behavior. Now boolean operations work correctly regardless of operand order, bringing Guppy’s bool type in line with standard Python expectations.

Why this matters: Language completeness removes friction. When developers write True & result or False | condition, they expect it to work — small gaps like missing operators create unnecessary debugging moments. Filling these gaps makes Guppy feel more natural to Python developers transitioning to quantum programming.

As always, I appreciate the Guppy contributors at Quantinuum for their help and collaboration.
