I've seen a few posts by now getting the proposed conditional
expression the wrong way round. Maybe this proves that it's simply
hard to think correctly in terms of conditional expressions, and they
should not be used (and hence, that language support for them should
be rejected).

Or maybe we just need to move on, and make new points, or give up.

Paul.
