No. The compiler already uses &.<br>
<br>
& means 'the following is an identifier even if it is a keyword'.<br>
<br>
You can perfectly declare and compile:<br>
<br>
Var<br>
&if : integer;<br>
<br>
begin<br>
&if:=1;<br>
end.<br>
<br>
So &if is a bad idea.</blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Yes it is possible. Anyway it is better idea than IfThen. You treat facts selectively. How often is used &if and how often is used IfThen?</div><div><br></div><div>&IfThen looks also good (I like shorter syntax &if). With "&" prefix it is obvious that this function is unique.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>you can even perfectly declare and compile:</div><div><br></div><div>var</div><div> inc, dec, chr: integer;</div><div> ifthen: integer;</div><div> &whatever: integer;</div><div><br></div><div>It means that inc/&if intrinsic name is bad?
