As I mentioned before, I think the real point of the conditional
expressions in Ada is to support the new pre- and post-condition
features. My understanding is that statements are not allowed in that
context. Sure involved cases might look like a normal if, but that's
better than not being able to express a conditional at all. That is, the
point of conditional expressions is not to somehow make the code shorter.
The use of conditional expressions in "normal" code is optional (I
think) but I can see that once you add them to the language, forbidding
them from normal code would seem oddly inconsistent.
