      <expression1> is long, it's easy to miss the conditional while

+     Holger Krekel proposed a new, minimally invasive variant:
+ 
+         <expression1> and <condition> else <expression2>
+ 
+     The concept behind it is that a nearly complete ternary operator
+     already exists with and/or and this proposal is the least invasive
+     change that makes it complete.  Many respondants on the
+     newsgroup found this to be the most pleasing alternative.
+     However, a couple of respondants were able to post examples
+     that were mentally difficult to parse.
