Can we simplify this to a single ??

Why it cannot be simply ?foo.bar.baz? I'm thinking about this since a few weeks now yet couldn't find anything against.

If an item in the chain is undefined, then instead of throwing an exception, it'll return undefined. Done.

Interesting. I prefer place it at the end of a chain to fallback exception to undefined.

let username = foo.bar.baz.users[0].name? || 'Anonymous'

I'm not sure about the correct mechanics. Can the chain be "flagged" by the parser that you won't need exception during evaluation?
Also that syntax is already reserved for if shorthand.

@wintercounter By design, you have indeed to write foo?.bar?.baz, i.e. put the question mark precisely at each place where you expect to possibly get null/undefined. We don’t think that reducing the number of question marks is worth the lost of precision.

That was already discussed in #29; see in particular #29 (comment) and #29 (comment), and the FAQ entry on the README that begins with ”In a deeply nested chain ...”
