But the right side of my brain (see Peter Keller's discussion in the 
recent "importance of syntax" thread) finds it quite easy to recognize 
this as a ternary op:
 
  foo = (I_need_to_do_something_really_complicated_here()
        if cond else
        baz)

The whitespace below "foo" provides a visual hint, which is confirmed by 
the nearby appearance of "if" on the second line. De gustibus non est 
disputandum! (or not)

Many thanks to all responders!
