Whether you have the test in an 'if', or in a ternary '?:', or
use it through a bool-int coercion as integer index to an indexed
function[-pointer] table;  it's a conditional branch based on the
("Test Set") predicate i<n.  You showed in your example how to get
rid of the 'if' symbol, but you could - as expected - not get rid
of the actual test that is the substance of a conditional branch.

Show me conditional branch in the right pane.

 The 'C' in 'CSET' is short for conditional.  Because
the branch is folded into the compare doesn't mean it
isn't there.

It's a moot point because relational operators and equality
operators can be synthesized out of bitwise and arithmetic
operators.
