in all, it is meant to be differently from the language if-then-else
What about using another word suggesting a choice?
j := Switch(i < 32, 48, 21);
j := Select(i < 32, 48, 21);
j := Which(i < 32, 48, 21);
They look to me as a goog compromise between expressiveness (IfThen)
and typing-laziness (iif).

Switch, Select, Which
are all good except that they are very common English words. They might
already be used by users in existing function names in their code.
I prefer
V := If Condition then ThenExpr else ElseExpr;
Beginners to Free Pascal can easily guess its meaning just by its look.
