The ternary operator is not ambiguous, I see no need for making it an
error. I have used such constructs very often, with no problem:
writefln("Printer is %s.",
status == OFFLINE ? "offline" :
status == ONLINE ? "online" :
status == CHECK ? "out of paper" :
status == ONLINE_CHECK ? "on fire" :
"unknown status");
That would become a real mess of parenthesis.
