I hope you don't take offense at what I'm about to say, but the code snippet you provided is not maintainable in the sense of not being readable. It sacrifices maintainability for cleverness. As someone above pointed out, sometimes it's better to write 5 lines instead of 2 lines.

We don't write code primarily for the compiler, if we would then we wouldn't be having this discussion because the compiler doesn't mind spaghetti. We write code for the next guy who will try to read, understand and modify the code. As an experienced programmer I can tell you, but you probably know anyway, that in all languages you can write very concise but completely incomprehensible snippets which even you won't understand in 2 weeks.
