Hi,
we have often the need to test for a minimum list size

  list(LENGTH list list_size)
  if (list_size GREATER 1)
  …

This happens so much, that we though it might be helpful to extend the 
if-syntax to allow this to be written in a more compact way. For example:

  if (LENGTH list GREATER 1)
  …

Or maybe by introducing functions that can return values (length being a 
„function“ here):

  if (length[list] GREATER 1)
  …

What do you think? Are we the only ones that could make good use out of this 
extension?

best regards,

Torsten
