It would be nice if the programmer could choose it from some compiler
switch, something like:

{$define ifthendecl := InlineIf}

or:

{$define ifthendecl := iif} // my favourite :3

or:

{$define ifthendecl := &if}

And the default could be IfThen.

Another nice feature sould be:

Ifso().

S := Ifso(True, 'SomeValue'); // S = 'SomeValue'

S := Ifso(False, 'SomeValue'); // S = ''

Just an idea. :-D
