Auto merge of #114028 - Centri3:ternary-operator, r=compiler-errors

Gracefully handle ternary operator

Fixes #112578

~~May not be the best way to do this as it doesn't check for a single `:`, so it could perhaps appear even when the actual issue is just a missing semicolon. May not be the biggest deal, though?~~

Nevermind, got it working properly now ^^
