I noticed that it is not possible to feed logical connectives to "apply" as,
for instance, the following examples
(apply 'or '(t nil t nil))
(apply 'and '(t nil t nil))
in emacs LISP because "or" and "and" are special forms as opposed to functions.
When I try these examples, I recieve the error message
invalid-function #<subr and>
Whilst I can work around this difficulty using "member" or using "eval" and
"cons", I wonder if there is a way of doing what I originally intended and
directly feeding logical connectives to "apply" (or, for that matter, other
functions which take a function as an argument).
