  <p>Is there a more concise way of writing the third line here?</p>
  
  <pre><code>int? i = GetSomeNullableInt();
  int? j = GetAnother();
  int k = i == null ? i : j;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know of the null coalescing operator but the behaviour I'm looking for is the opposite of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>int k == i ?? j;
  </code></pre>
