I like that idea, but I'm a bit worried with partial extension of
the language supported by file_contents.  In particular, some day
we ought to have dignified loops, tests and so on, and I'm afraid
operators like ? : are not very good (telling about nesting them :).

Why don't you use if/endif, or ?FOO? syntax that kills/keeps a line?
