 Replying to [comment:2 ayeshrajans]:
 > I wasn't aware of this before, but it looks like wpcs disallows Elvis
 operator at the moment. I will read the issues/PRs in
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards to see if there is
 a good reason for it, or try see if we get them allowed. PHPCS task fails
 otherwise.

 Just checking if something is "truthy" (while used a LOT in WP), is
 generally speaking not the best of practices and as soon as a check is
 made more specific - `isset( $a ) && is_int( $a ) && $a > 10` - a short
 ternary will break.

 That's why it is forbidden and there is no intention to change this rule.
