Personally, I don't like this feature of the language. I find a ternary
operator that uses symbols that can also be binary operators confusing
and inconsistent with the way operators usually work/the way terms are
usually associated.

It has the charm of being something you'd "naturally" write in the
context of non-programming mathematics, at the cost of being very odd
indeed in the context of programming in general and Python in particular.
