This implementation has nothing to do with generics. It's a compiler
magic function, just like Writeln() and thus it can bend the usual rules ;)

I've seen your bug this night and that was the cause for finally
implementing this.

I've not yet looked at what the problem regarding your code is. However
you can simply remove your TUtils.Iif() and use IfThen() instead.

That's what I have hoped for. :)
