// Excuse my beginner’ English

I have a few (3) thoughts:


1. binary ?.
If a === null: a?.b.c === undefined

If a?.b === null: a?.b.c // throws exception

If a?.b === null: a?.b?.c === undefined

If a === 0: a?.b.c === undefined

If a === '': a?.b.c === undefined

If a in not defined: a?.b.c // throws exception

If a === undefined but defined: a?.b.c === undefined



2. unary ?.

window?.navigator?.toString()

browser: "[object Navigator]"
node: ReferenceError: window is not defined

here i suggest syntax for exception-slient accesing globals:

?.a === hostGlobalObject?.a
?.a?.b === hostGlobalObject?.a?.b


3. groupped ?.()
Syntax for the full existential chain case:

.?(a.b.c) // equals with typeof a !== 'undefined' && a.b && a.b.c

I use .? here too because ?:
