Subject: Ternary operator request

Hi!

I'm more or less an amateur programmer, but I have fallen in love  
with Ruby.

I have an improvement idea for Ruby - I don't know if this is the  
best place to post this, but I thought it might spark some discussion  
about whether adding this "feature" would be healthy for the language  
or not.

Let's suppose we have a method called: "some_method?". Why not allow  
writing ternary operator expressions like this:

some_method? a : b

instead of

some_method? ? a : b




It feels way more natural,



Rob
