I see your smiley, but C# has this operator. What do C# programmers call
it? ("Null coalescing operator" is the formal name, but that's way too
long for everyday use.)

I've never seen it referred to as anything other than "the null coalescing operator" (or occasionally the "double question mark operator"). C# devs aren't necessarily the most creative bunch... :)
