I'd suspect that both if-else-experssion and iif() will end up being in the
FPC.
Since it appears that preference is split exactly 50/50 over an expression
and a function.

Similar to other duplication:
...in sets
  Include(ch, 'a')
  ch:=ch+['a'];

...in arithmetical operations
   a:=a+4;
   inc(a,4);
   a+=4;   // C-style btw!

thanks,
Dmitry
