Having read over all the vox populi thread, it seems to me:
* It's another way to do something that can already be done.
* It tends to obfusticate.
* It's not really all that much a savings in typing.
* It complicates the parser and thus makes room for more bugs.
* Some of the examples given confuse me as to whether or not a ternary op is
being introduced or a postfix condition, i.e: if a unless b:... (if a if not
b:...).
* No compelling use case that demonstrates correcting a limitation of the
language.
* No compelling use case that demonstrates an important new feature for the
language.
ternary op: -1
