Yes, but what if you don't? 

While the idiom might WORK, it's by no means READABLE
(except to people who are already familiar with the
idiom). Imagine showing it to a non-programmer, or a 
beginning programmer, or even to a programmer with
years of experience but who had never seen this particular
idiom!

One of the reasons why I WANT a conditional operator
is so I will stop encountering clever "tricks" like
and-or in place of readable code.
