So if you have ever suffered the horror of debugging three nested
trigraphs in C, <snip>

Trigraphs don't nest; each encodes a single character. You  likely
mean the conditional operator, often called _ternary_ because it (if
it is considered a single thing) has three operands:

    predicate ? trueexpr : falseexpr 

which can be abused for things like

    cond1? cond2? val12: cond3? val103: val100: cond4? val04: val00
