Split it over multiple lines and drop ()?

derive MYVAR from
  X86 ? "a" :
  PPC ? "b" :
  ARM ? "c" :
        "default"

Or allow the else clause to be empty, meaning ignore.  Empty clauses
are dropped from the theorem prover.

derive MYVAR from (X86 ? "a" : )
derive MYVAR from (PPC ? "b" : )
derive MYVAR from (ARM ? "c" : )
