That's not to say that spelling is not important *at all*, or that we
should never prefer words to symbols. But if the only objection we have
is "this is useful but I don't like the spelling so -1" then that's
usually a pretty weak argument against the feature.
But we already have a spelling for the most common case. It is:
x = a if a is not None else b
That is the only use case of any of these operators that is actually
common enough for me to care about --- but it's still not common enough
to warrant the creation of a new operator, let alone multiple new operators.
