Right, conditional "if" is exactly what we miss in Python.

Yes, it's a typo, but it's proverbial Freudian slip, shows what stays
behind such proposals - un[spell]checked desire to add some tautology
to the language.

Reading things like this, it seems that some people just can't get at
peace with Python's indentation-based syntax, and would jump in no time
to an alternative syntax which allows to smack indentation.

It was also said many times, that it you want some trivial variety on
the existing language, pick up your favorite macro package and go
ahead, coding trivial macros in trivial.
