Similar to delphi generic method:
  function IIf<T>(Condition: Boolean; IfTrue, IfFalse: T): T;
  begin
    if Condition then
      Result := IfTrue
    else
      Result := IfFalse;
  end;

I'm working on this functionality for classes, objects and record methods.

But even delphi does not have it for regular procedures/functions. I 
suppose because regular procedures/functions does not support overloading.
