So I guess you wouldn't be a fan of the GNU C construct

    something ?: fallback


equivalent of standard C

    something ? something : fallback


providing something has no side effects. No significant advantage that I
can see and a real portability glitch.

Another programmer in the company likes to use it and it really irritates
me.
