eek! I've just read the proposal. How do we stop this nonsense? I vote 
against it!

You can write
if x: y(); else: z() 
in one line already and I for one can't see any functional difference 
between this kind of statement and the proposed "ternary operator" and this 
looks like a very special case to me.

But maybe I'm missing something? Can the gurus enlighten me?
