I think the people against the ternary operator should write down a
summary of their objections, wherea the people favorable to the ternary
operator should decide which form they prefer.
I would like people to be able to choose their field between different
categories, such as
1) I am against in any case
2) I don't care, I am neutral
3) I am pro only if this or that form is used
4) I am fine with Guido's proposal
I would like to see a statistics to have an idea of the feelings of the
community. I can not judge from the current threads the percentage.
Maybe somebody could set up a Web page to perform the statistics.
Then, if enough people are pro (which I am not sure will be the case),
we should choose which proposal is the good one for everybody (and I
am not sure we can reach an agreement).
