I'm +0.5 if we can agree on a syntax where evaluation is left-to-right
(condition, true case, false case).  I haven't decided on a nice one yet.

I'm -1 on any syntax that's out of order.  I think that would be
terribly confusing, and i don't think there's any example of a
successful out-of-order ?: syntax in another language, is there?

It's not just that it's out of order -- it's that something gets
short-circuited out of order.  The whole idea of the very *first*
thing you see getting short-circuited is unacceptably weird and
unexpected for me.
