What? The ternary operator in a void context? Shame on you. I 'prefer'
the '&& ||' trick in such contexts, but if/else is still better since
it's easy to add a statement to a block, but you can catch yourself
out with either of the other choices.

But, but, that should be
$foo && do_foo_stuff() || do_other_stuff();
