> Thank you @kuilpd for the work that you are doing on DIL. I have been attempting to find the time to contribute for several months, but have not been able to get things at `$DAYJOB` under control. I hope that my minor amount of feedback on this PR makes your life a little easier. Thank you, again, for your great work on DIL!

No problem :) We already have plans and WIP implementation of further DIL features, so code review on PRs would be welcome.
 
> What you state about evaluation of only one of the conditional expression "arms" in DIL is true in C++, too: ["Only one of the second and third expressions is evaluated."](https://eel.is/c++draft/expr.cond#1.sentence-4). It seems like the real differentiator in the semantics is the fact that the types of the expressions in the arms is not checked in DIL but is checked in C++?

Yes, the only difference compared to C++ is that it doesn't check the types of the "arms". I've been told in another PR that comparing to C++ can make it confusing, so I'll remove it here as well.
