PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP CALLING IT "digraph".  I have had
toothache by the time I finished reading my morning dose of source
changes.


What you talk about is called "conditional operator".

"Digraphs" are tokens like <: (see 6.4.6 Punctuators).


I find it especially icky that this abhorrent carelessness with
terminology is used for commits that are intended to improve c99
standart conformance.
