I was just linked to this thread [from another](https://es.discourse.group/t/conditionally-add-elements-to-declaratively-defined-arrays/1041) where we're discussing some solutions to the same problem for both arrays and objects using modified ternary and null coalescence syntax. Thoughts on that approach (for objects)?
