Oh, agreed, most assuredly (except that "we" didn't include "me," not
that that would have made any difference, but I missed most of the
discussion). I was merely responding to your assertion that using "if
C then A else B" could cause parsing problems.
I'm not convinced python even needs a ternary operator. I just wish
the syntax chosen by the BDFL made more sense. Even if I don't use
it, I'll likely have to read it...
