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

[Philippe Lévi]

I thought about "condEval( cnd, true, false);"


we are looking for a name of a function ... and "if" is a statment ... variations of  "if" still have the flavour of statment name ...

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).

Well, correct that then :)
