For review: PEP 308 - If-then-else expression

[Geoff Gerrietts]

Maybe it's been suggested before, and it's not popular for some
reason, but I think conceiving this as an operator might be the wrong
direction to go -- we go there because C did, not because it's right.

What about ifelse(condition, then clause[, else clause])? I've seen
structures like that in several languages; it seems to answer the need
without adding new syntax.
