I fail to see how adding something to Python can turn it into
a dumbed-down language unsuitable for serious programming,
no matter how oversimplified or verbose or primitive or
otherwise horrible the addition is. All those serious programs
already written in Python will go on working just fine if
any of the proposed conditional expression forms is introduced.
