[swift-evolution] ternary operator ?: suggestion

[J. Cheyo Jimenez]

Thank you Chris for all the feedback.

Should there be a spot on the website or github with frequent
proposed changes that are not feasible or that not better solution has been
found (such as the ?: operator )?

I am thinking this would cut down on people asking to turn operators into
keywords (or similar ) but still encourage better solutions to be proposed.
