Proposed PEP for a Conditional Expression

[Norman Shelley]

I agree that ARG_24 is THE most important point. I believe this same point is
THE most important point behind the new assignment feature, e.g.
x += 1
x *= 4
..

and the same argument is THE most important point to make for a CASE/SWITCH
statement in python.
While you're in the PEP writing mode why not create another PEP where ARG_24 is
extended and pushed for all areas where it makes sense and show where new
features have been added that fit this point.
