But if it is: In that case the IfThen or IIF() or somesuch has my

Yes a compiler intrinsic could handle that. In the end all three syntaxes
are the same code representation anyway: namely an if-node.
The IfThen() intrinsic would be fine with me as well. Let's call this our
common ground ;)
Agreed !
It would be even better if it could be generalised to evaluate and
return one of any number of expressions.
