Damian said to ignore this part of his question, but for the sake of the
archives and other potential users:

This form would be difficult to support in Chapel, due to ':'s role in
specifying type specifications and casts.

This form is supported by Chapel today:
variable = if condition then resultA else resultB;
In some contexts, one can also drop the 'else' -- as a means of filtering
results in an iteration, for example.
