think it's not good. Ruby 2.2.3p173 shows warning:

warning: found = in conditional, should be ==

Feature #11734: Improved ternary operator

----------------------------------------
In ternary operator it would be nice to be able to pass expression result from *condition*  into *value_if_true/value_if_false* in such way:

`some_long_expression ? &.to_s : 'foobar'`
where `&` refers to `some_long_expression`

Instead of doing:
`some_long_expression ? some_long_expression.to_s : 'foobar'`

or:
`result = some_very_very_long_expression
result ? result.to_s : 'foobar'`
