For me the bigger problem is that both statements change its behavior
in function of its context.

if a=b then 1 else 2;

this is a pascal error, but

z := if a=b then 1 else 2;

Is it correct ? From my point of view is much more reasonable to use
something like:

z := iff(a=b,1,2);

But to me it looks awful and a bit of c-ism and really horrible code
could be written:

z: Boolean;
begin
z := iff(a=b,iif(b=2,a=b,b<>a),not(a=b));
