x <- h > 3 ? 1 : 2

Steal C's ternary operator for R

@coolbutuseless FWIW ? is already an infix operator, as in package?ggplot2. And @jimhester abused it for type annotation in https://github.com/jimhester/typeCheck.

The typeCheck package automatically adds type checking code when types are annotated. - jimhester/typeCheck

@hadleywickham @coolbutuseless @jimhester Triple it for some added personality! `???` turns a boring conditional statement into one oozing with incredulity

x <- h > 3 ??? 1 : 2

@hadleywickham @tylermorganwall @coolbutuseless @jimhester so I discover (reading the source...) that ? is a binary operator...
