Terefang Verigorn updated JEXL-182:
-----------------------------------
    Description: 
common code often has constructs along the lines of:

String r = ((v != null) ? v : "default");

wouldnt this be better handled by a simple operator ?

groovy has "?:" (http://www.groovy-lang.org/operators.html#_elvis_operator)
like:

def r = (v ?: 'default');

and php 7 now has '??' 
(http://php.net/manual/en/migration70.new-features.php#migration70.new-features.null-coalesce-op)
like:

$r = ($v ?? 'default');
