That it's C, not Pascal ;) and, um. sorry I do not have a c spec on hand, 
does it really work that way in C - only evaluates truevalue or falsevalue not both?

I wrote another one in another email, maybe actually having new keyword or 2 is ok ?
and require it to be an assignment, like

x := ( condition; whentrue:=true_value; whenfalse:=false_value);

so syntactic sugar but not abusing function calls, but an assignment instead.
