bash - How to retrieve the return code of a command in a short-circuit expression -

after expression:

command1 | command2

i can retrieve first commands exit status through ${pipestatus[0]}

is there equivalent expressions in form:

command3 && command4 || command5

i retrieve exitcode of command3:

command3 && command4 || command5 retval=${shortcircuit[0]}     # how value?

preferably without creating temporary files.

elaborating devnull's approach leads to

{ c3=0; command3 || c3=$? && false; } && command4 || command5 echo $c3

. because every command can replaced by

{ c=0; command || c=$? && false; }

(provided c unset if executed conditionally), extensible.
