I have to admit though that I forgot about the potential problems due to
refactoring. I'll change the name to avoid this pitfall, though I've yet to
decide which one.
My proposition is:
function &if(Condition: Boolean; ThenExpr, ElseExpr: type): type;
& is used rarely (and it is legal ident part), collision with existing code
base is minimal. Looks almost like regular Pascal syntax ;).
No. The compiler already uses &.
& means 'the following is an identifier even if it is a keyword'.
You can perfectly declare and compile:
Var
&if : integer;
begin
&if:=1;
end.
So &if is a bad idea.
Michael.
