Back when I was using AS2 and Javascript "||" operator was useful to me.
I was so glad when AS3 brought default parameters.
var value:String = foo || bar;

I'm not about writing cryptic PERL-like statements, but writing !=
null is a waste of time. It's obviously a null comparison (by nature
of it being an instance). Calling it out as such is redundant.
It also lends itself to very readable code with inline ORs.
var value:String = foo || bar;
If foo is null, value = bar. Great for default values such as with XML.
var value:String = x...@foo || "";
Very readable and so much better than
var value:String = "";
if (x...@foo != undefined) value = x...@foo;
