Ok, I can see the use of this, but I find the syntax *very* confusing. Expressions shouldn't be able to mess with code semantics like that.

If you wanted to do something like that, I could live with this syntax:

b[] += (a[] >= 0 ? c[] : 0);

The a[] >= 0 returns a vector of booleans, and then the ternary operator acts element-wise with those booleans as the condition.
