Hmm... (2 and 0) gives the value 0, so the result should clearly
be whatever (0 else 3) returns, which logically should be 3, right?

(In other words, I agree.  If you know it's a ternary op, you can
figure it out.  If you don't, it's entirely non-obvious what it's
doing, and reads to me more like a latent syntax error than anything
else.)
