Some such constructs in some languages are statements only. If they are expressions, I'm happy to see their kind identified by the keyword, as you do here. The one in Python would naturally be an if-expression. That looks a bit funny if the "keyword" does not look like a word, but then programming languages do look funny, so why not: (c ? t : e) # ?-expression (c -> t, e) # ->-expression -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
