Hello,

I thought it would be cool to have conditional check syntax, which gets
converted to simple check constraint syntax.

Here’s a gist:

It’s just sugar, but i think it would make check constraints easier to
read, and easier to write without backwards boolean logic.

Rather than this, I think an exclusive-or operator would be a lot more useful. The only difficulty I run into with CHECK constaints is when I want to ensure that only ONE condition is true.
