[swift-evolution] ternary operator ?: suggestion

[J. Cheyo Jimenez]

+1 I personally really like the if then expression. I think is cleaner and
this way we can have if else expressions with curly braces too. Introducing
the then keyword also could allow for switch expressions.

let result =  switch (yourColor) {
               case .Red   then 1
               case .Green then 2
               case .Blue  then 3
          }
