Ternary (conditional) operator. Using (x and y or z) has become an
idiom, which shows the real demand for such a feature, but the fact that
it breaks when y is false or nil makes for a lot of landmines.
Something like #... to return the number of varargs without needing to
pass them all to another function as in select('#',...).
