Now that's completely not true! Translating Pike into PHP is by
definition easy. Look:

// Pike code:
int x = (1==2) ? 3 : 4;

# PHP code:
$x = (1==2) ? 3 : 4;

# Python code:
x = 3 if 1==2 else 4

See? Python is just arbitrarily different! The ?: operator is
fundamental to so much of programming, and Python has to go and break
it!
