Its true that in most programming languages one is likely to see,
a conditional (if) statement is likely harder to grok than a conditional
expression ie if the expression is allowed at all!!
Er... Meant the other way round!

Here, if C is false, then only Y is evaluated, even though the first
thing encountered is X! More than a little unintuitive.
