We generally try to avoid overly long lines, but splitting conditionals across multiple lines isn't much better. We don't have to extract this to a constant (although doing so would remove the number of objects being garbage collected) but moving it to a variable would make the line shorter, like so:

```ruby
comparators = ['<', '<=', '>=', '>']
result = @aug.get(path) || ''

case comparator
if comparators.include? comparator and # ...
```

But admittedly this is a small detail, so to avoid bikeshedding if you feel strongly about this, then it's fine. :)
