Bug description: Shorthand for X ? X : Y
Providing default values for fields, I find myself using the following
syntax a lot:
$a = $result->f('asd'); if (!$a) $a = 'nothing';
$a = ($result->f('asd') ? $result->f('asd') : 'nothing');
Generally:
$a = ($x ? $x : $y);
It would be handy to have a shorthand for this that would easy typing,
legibility, and avoid duplicate evaluation of $x.
Proposed syntax (not fussy)
$x ?: $y
i.e. if 'value if true' is empty, use 'condition value'.
