+1 IMHO we can't use "IfThen" (or iif, IfThenElse, etc) as if it were a real function, because it is not. So, according to the "spirit of Pascal, what do you think about this? V := inline If Condition then ThenExpr else ElseExpr; Only "inline" keyword will be introduced. But I don't know if will be more hard to implement this. Just my 2 cents...
