Hi,

Just wondering what, if any, plans to support or existing support we have for the useful Boolean ? expr : expr construct...

Currently I'm stuck with this 5 liner

[#if pageNumber - numPagesToShow > 0]
      [#assign firstPage = pageNumber - numPagesToShow /]
[#else]
      [#assign firstPage = 1 /]
[/#if]

Could be written as

[#assign firstPage = pageNumber - numPagesToShow > 0 ? pageNumber - numPagesToShow : 1 /]


Any plans to support this type of thing in the future?  Can I achieve this using something else now?  No big deal, just a bit more terse which is generally good.

And the ++ and -- operators would be nice if supported also.
