this unambiguously? The usage could be even worse, something like:
let direction = (a:0>1?a:2:a:1)
Personally, I never leave these sorts of matters to the whims of
the parser designer (no offense, Bram :) and always specify
just as I would with something as ambiguous as
a and b or c
which could be parsed as
(a and b) or c
or
a and (b or c)
not trusting in the compiler, or my own ability to come back
later and understand which condition it should be.
Similarly, I always force a ternary operator with
let direction = (a:0>1)?(a:2):(a:1)
to ensure that it parses exactly as I want/expect.
I know it's not an ideal solution as it sounds like you can solve
your problem with a few extra spaces...however, it might be a
habit worth developing to prevent ambiguity in code...both for
the parser, and for you 6 months down the line. :)
