except that only None would be considered falsey?

Or would that be confusing?

Yes, I think that borrowing an operator from C but giving
it subtly different semantics would be *very* confusing,
especially to people more familiar with C than Python.
They're going to look at it and *think* they know what it
means, except they don't.

OK, if we're going to have ?. and ?[, then:

    target = expr1 ?| expr2 ?| expr3
    target = expr1 ?& expr2 ?& expr3

A disadvantage is that they look a little like | and &, which don't short-circuit.
