Same here. I see no reason to differ from it. Introducing new
incompatibility is bad idea. For me is good to have booth (Oxygene
compatible):

x := iif (a < 3, 1, 2);
V := If a < 3 then 1 else 2;

sometimes is better to use first option and sometimes is better to use
second option. Both Oxygen compatible and very "pascalish".
