#2165: Support ternary substitution in WithProperties

I think it would be nice to have support for "if (prop) then substitute X
else substitute Y".
Python supports back-references in a regex, so I'm imagining that a
possible syntax would be:
`:?` + `delimiter` + `true_substitution` + `delimiter` +
`false_substitution`
For example:
* `%(prop:?:sub_true:sub_false)s`
* `%(prop:?|sub_true|sub_false)s`
* `%(prop:?Asub_trueAsub_false)s`
I'm not sure if ":?" would check the property based on existence (i.e. as
":+" does) or on true-ness (i.e. as ":~" does), or whether it would be
nice to support both options?
