It's a shortcut for a ? a : b and I like kind of like it. I'm also still
not there that I can read fluently over it, but I think it's worth
learning it.
What puzzles me here is that the putc callback is either passed a
context pointer or cdev itself if there is no context. I haven't read
the full patch yet, but that is one thing that I don't like.
