Ah yes, I forgot, I use self modifying functions in fvwm-themes to implement a state. But I would prefer functions to be used on purpose, to define an interface with parameters that can be called from any place. Using functions to implement state variables and "switch" is not ok. :) > But then you'll end up doing a "while" command, then a "switch", then a > "break" and I think you've got youself a new language to learn.

If you ask me, I would place a real interpreter language, tcl is fine. But this does not seem possible. This would require an absolutely new syntax. I am ready to rewrite hundreds of kilobytes of fvwm-themes configs, but I fear that some others have problems to rewrite their. I only suggested my version of if-else implementation (which I think is good to have anyway), because I felt it is a better solution than the "two alternative commands on the same line", suggested previously.
