Issue #6561 has been updated by rosenfeld (Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas).

I have feature proposition to add new opearator ?= its like ||= but assigns only when variable is not defined
So it should be shortcut for

    @var ?= 1

eq

    defined?(@var) ? @var : @var = 1

It should useful for caching nil'able or false'able items
