Pierre,
I like this, it's very compact, and the '?' is quite suggestive of
the meaning.
However, the ':' symbol is already used by Lua, so cannot be used
here.
Perhaps replace ':' by '!', as in
a = b ? x ! y
since '!' is currently unused, and ( at least in the C / Java world
) means 'not',
which is similar to the 'else' interpretation of ':'.
