Wondering if its possible to use “else” and “else if” with this syntax?  
Also is it possible to use other bitwize opperators in conjunction with this.  
eg:  
|,&&,\<\>,\<,\>

```auto
x = "c";
x ? "l" : trace("no it doesn't = l" );
// trace message = no it doesn't = l
--------------------------------------------------
x = "l";
x ? "l" : trace("no it doesn't = l" );
// no message!

```

Thanks for any help…:}  
let me know if this is a stupid question.
