It is nice to see someone who puts as much thought into posting as you
do. Unfortunately, your proposal is moot, as we have a definitive
"No, still can't chain them" from Larry.

Thanks for the reference
However, I'm pretty sure he's talking about disallowing multiple modifiers there. My "if/unless/when as operator" proposal is exactly to avoid having to support multiple modifiers. So I think discussion on this might still be fruitful.
I'm actually a bit surprised noone had the idea earlier; to me the if-
modifier is so similar to the 'and'-operator to have no reason being a modifier (it's actually implemented using 'and' internally in p5).
Contrast that to the 'for'-modifier, which really has an impact on the statement unlike any operator could achieve, and hence really needs to be a statement modifier.
