> A short-handed ternary operation {{x ? y}} is an equivalent of the {{x ? y : null}}. The {{x : y}} operator is analogous to {{if (x) y}} statement with {{else}} part omitted. With new syntax we will have ternary operator and {{if}} statement to have full symmetry of forms, e.g.
> {{x ? y : x}} is {{if (x) y else z}}, {{x ? y}} is {{if (x) y}}
> Just to note, the proposed short-handed differs from Elvis operator {{x ?: y}} which is effectively {{x ? x : y}}. In other words, elvis operator allows for the middle part of the ternary operator to be omitted, whereas the proposed form allows for the imission of the last part.
