The cond(C, :x, :y) was just a builtin function cond using a new
introduced syntax for "thunks" (zero-argument lambdas; :x would be short
for lambda: x), so I don't think that really qualifies as a conditional
operator a la PEP 308; it's a short-hand for lambdas and a function
which uses them in a certain way, rather than a conditional operator
(the conditional operator suggested above would be just one application
of it).
