and I feel it would be more elegant to be able to do something like:

That is so totally slick!  I'm definitely going to have to remember this
neat little trick! :)


That's like using a bulldozer to tidy your living room. Why not use the
following even more readable style (and more efficient)?

$outputStr =
    'first part of string  '
   .($a == $b ? $c : $d)
   .' rest of string';

Readability is in the eye of the beholder.
