except that only None would be considered falsey?
Or would that be confusing?
Yes, I think that borrowing an operator from C but giving it subtly different semantics would be *very* confusing, especially to people more familiar with C than Python. They're going to look at it and *think* they know what it means, except they don't.
OK, if we're going to have ?. and ?[, then: target = expr1 ?| expr2 ?| expr3 target = expr1 ?& expr2 ?& expr3 A disadvantage is that they look a little like | and &, which don't short-circuit.
