Java Single Conditional Operator

[Aaron Scott-Boddendijk]

Using a more idiomatic use of whitespace, isn't this just the difference
between:

|    if (a > 50) print("50 more");

and

|    a > 50 ?. print("50 more");

That is, a two character difference for a new operator we can't use for
something else (and that operator is highly recognisable as the 'null-safe
navigation' operator in several languages - and proposed for Java way back
in Java 6/7 days with Project Coin - or was it even earlier than that).

If teams want to shorten code in this form, can't they just change
formatting policies to allow a single-branch, single-statement body,
if-statement to occupy a single line?
