I think someone else proposed `A unless B` but I always prefer knowing upfront what I'm working with, not later by having to read farther along. Personally, if the `A?? B` is the part people like but hate the syntax then my vote would go to `A otherwise B` since it's unambiguous, the case you care about the state of comes first, and it doesn't trip your brain up looking for 'if'. :)
