It seems that the proposal itself has given up on the syntax in the article and will be proposing try expressions instead. The ?= syntax would never fly given that there's already a ??= operator that does something else. Given that the (much simpler) throw expressions have been stuck in bureaucratic hell for 7 years, I look forward to seeing try expressions some time around the heat death of the universe.
