Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51045 (project octave):
Yeah, merge is the Matlab compatible way to do logical selection, roughly
equivalent to a ternary operator. Octave aliases this to ifelse for those
familiar with Lisp.
The main problem is that this function cannot short-circuit to evaluate only
one of its arguments, no function or operator overload can do that, but it is
what it is. However, I suspect Ernst is looking for a short-circuiting ternary
operation.
