 May I suggest adding ??=, as in
 x ??= y;
 

That would be quite logical I think.

I've opened an enhancement request on the bugzilla.

 Too bad C# choose ?? as the coalescing operator. GCC already has it and
 simply uses the traditional ?: with an empty second argument, like:
 
   x = y ?: z;
 

Interesting. I didn't know that.

 which is, IMHO, quite easier to understand.
 

Not really. It's just that you are used to it. There is nothing to
understand about an operator, you simply need to know what it does ;)

Yes, what I mean is that when you know the traditional use of ?:, like
in cond ? val1 : val0, this special case is way more intuitive to
understand. But maybe that's just me.

Thanks a lot for this Jiří !

I know it'll be hard to maintain a regular weekly schedule (many others
tried on other projects), but even if irregular it'll be really useful.

Thanks,

 The exact form this takes I haven't really decided yet, and will depend
 mainly on your feedback. The point will be to keep those of you, who are
 not subscribed to bugzilla and don't enjoy reading git log, informed,
 and make this list more involved in the development.

This is great thanks. How to help? Any place where to find this on internet
other than this mailing list?
