Ven` > In Apocalypse 3, Larry introduced the // operator, which is like a || that tests its left operand for definedness rather than truth. 10:34
What he didn't mention (but which you probably guessed) was that there is also the low-precedence version of //. Its name is err:
macro infix:<err>($a, $b) { quasi { {{{$a}}} // {{{$b}}} } }
masak `err` was later renamed to `orelse` 18:08
which is mentioned at the end of github.com/masak/007/issues/300 18:45
