elvis pattern refinement (was Syntax patterns)

[Reinier Zwitserloot]

Ali, the proposal phase is long gone. These discussions about the  
elvis pattern are about which of 2 already submitted proposals to take  
(just the elvis operator, or also ?. and others) - that's why Ruslan  
and Stephen are sorting out how useful they would be in code bases.  
The other statistics Ruslan is reporting are also in regards to  
completely specified proposals submitted before the deadline of March  
30th.
