If[x, y, z] instead "if x then y else z" or something like that

While[a, b] instead of "while a do b" or "while (a) b" or something
like that

Switch[a, x, xx, y, yy, ...] instead of "switch (a) case x : xx, case
y : yy, ..." or something like that

The point in each case is that it helps the reader see the structure
of the
code to separate the arguments by keywords or other syntax elements.
