Readable perhaps, but boring. echo (true === ($err = somefunc())) ? 'ok' :
"error: $err"; is fun. It invites the reader to explore its mysteries; to
embark in a journey of discovery, a quest filled with a sense of awe and
wonder. And in a sense it helps the reader to uncover new things about
*themselves* and unfold the secrets of their very souls.

Plus it saves almost 30 bytes.
