<p>we are looking for a name of a function ... and "if" is a statment ... variations of "if" still have the flavour of statment name ...</p>

<div>Maybe we shouldn't focus all that much on the " if " word..since all in all, it is meant to be differently from the language if-then-else<br>
</div>
What about using another word suggesting a choice?<br>
<br>
j := Switch(i < 32, 48, 21);<br>
</div>
j := Select(i < 32, 48, 21);<br>
</div>
j := Which(i < 32, 48, 21);
<div><br>
</div>
<div>They look to me as a goog compromise between expressiveness (IfThen) and typing-laziness (iif).<br>
