Maybe.  It was my first idea.  It doesn't matter.  The variable was
uninitialized, so it could be a large positive number.

I don't like too long expressions.  It's hard to understand their
structure.  Automatic indentation only makes things worse by breaking the
line regardless of parentheses.

On the other hand, the code using the "if" operator looks better after
automatic indentation.  It's easier to notice similarities in the code and
reorganize it if required.  Finally, it's easier to put comments into the
code.

For example, compare this

(widget->is_panelized) ? (widget->x = widget->parent.x) : (widget->x =
widget->parent.x + 4);

and this

if (widget->is_panelized) {
    widget->x = widget->parent.x;
} else {
    /* Need to leave 4 cells on the left */
    widget->x = widget->parent.x + 4;
}

I have no problem with ?: if it doesn't make the code hard to read.
