I'm not sure if the readability thing gets us very far. I find -a and -o
at least as easy to read as &&/|| (not to mention closer to natural
languange, that might be better for non-programmers).
Whereas I find that { and } make a text harder to read.
Of course this is completely subjective, but still...
