[fpc-pascal] New feature: IfThen() intrinsic

[Roberto P.]

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
What about using another word suggesting a choice?

   j := Switch(i < 32, 48, 21);
   j := Select(i < 32, 48, 21);
   j := Which(i < 32, 48, 21);

They look to me as a goog compromise between expressiveness (IfThen) and
typing-laziness (iif).
