Aside: I think that's true for Pythonic scripting, but in general I
think you're just as likely to find that it's a genuine choice, and
that the condition is as interesting as either choice.
Variation on the theme of conditional expression: I'd often like to
write
var = computed() if cond() else break
or
var = computed() if cond() else continue
I wonder if that syntax has legs, or if it's too cute to stand.
