## @deftypefn  {} {@var{z} =} xor (@var{x}, @var{y})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{z} =} xor (@var{x1}, @var{x2}, @dots{})
## Return the @dfn{exclusive or} of @var{x} and @var{y}.
##
## For boolean expressions @var{x} and @var{y},
## @code{xor (@var{x}, @var{y})} is true if and only if one of @var{x} or
## @var{y} is true.  Otherwise, if @var{x} and @var{y} are both true or both
## false, @code{xor} returns false.

## The truth table for the xor operation is
