[JEXL] Ternary expressions?
Was just wondering if there's any chance JEXL will support ternary
expressions at some point? It would be nice to have some sort of
conditional support. (I notice this has been discussed on the dev group.)

since i needed this and didn't feel like hacking jexl, i throw an item
named Helper in my context which is an instance of a class with a
method like:
public Object if( boolean state, Object o1, Object o2 )
{
return state ? o1 : o2;
}
then its just ${Helper.if( a > b, a, b )}
