    true

    iex> pg_and(true, false)
    false

    iex> pg_and(false, false)
    false

    iex> pg_and(nil, true)
    nil

    iex> pg_and(nil, false)
    false

    iex> pg_and(nil, nil)
    nil

# `pg_or`

```elixir
@spec pg_or(boolean() | nil, boolean() | nil) :: boolean() | nil
```

The Postgres OR operator, which has some specific behaviour when
comparing NULLs with booleans.

## Examples

    iex> pg_or(true, false)
    true

    iex> pg_or(false, false)
    false

    iex> pg_or(nil, true)
    true

    iex> pg_or(nil, false)
