Of course I did notice :-) .

V := If a < 3 then 1 else 2;

In fact extends a several language paradigms:

   - a keyword (such as "if") returns a value
   - a statement (such as "if ....", and the content of an if clause ) 
returns a value
   - an expression (such as "1") is accepted as a statement (and hence 
allowed in a n if clause)

This _might_ be viable and doable, as its a pure optional extension.
