          It specifically refers to this shorthand ?: that works like this:

          $value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ?: 'fallback value';
          
          # same as
          
          $value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ? $thing_that_could_be_truthy : 'fallback value';
          

          The condition is also the value if it is truthy
