Then you preclude

Var
  &if : Integer;

This is a really bad idea. The whole idea of & is to make the above
possible, so you are going to make an exception on an exception ?

You really want to create monstrosities as

   &if:=system.&if(a>3,1,3) * b

Really guys, I know it is ugly, but we don't have to add to it even more;

Using & in a system intrinsic identifier: how crazy can you get ?

Sorry Maciej and Sven, but I will personally revert such a change, 
and shut down the SVN server afterwards to boot so you have time to
calm down and get back to your senses. Get a holiday or so.

Michael.
