The ternary operator unnecessarily demotes lvalues to rvalues. For example, this code would not work:
public Bug(c) {
new array1[20]
new array2[20]
SomeFunction(c ? array1[0] : array2[1])
}
SomeFunction(const array[]) {
}
It seems like this restriction can be lifted with the right knowledge of the compiler. For example, callers of hier13() could pass down whether they want a reference or a variable -- or hier13() could return a new iTERNARY that rvalue() would get special logic to decode. Unfortunately I don't have the time to investigate further. Original bug report:

Why should that work? The function takes an array, array1[#] and array2[#] are cells.

For the same reason this already works:
public Bug(c) {
new array[20]
SomeFunction(array[2])
}
SomeFunction(const array[]) {
}
