Hello all,

I was working on my script when I ran across this unexpected behavior with the 
"if" statement. The doc says:

:if {expr1}                     *:if* *:endif* *:en* *E171* *E579* *E580*
:en[dif]                Execute the commands until the next matching ":else"
                        or ":endif" if {expr1} evaluates to non-zero.

I thought that meant that if {expr1} evaluated to anything other than zero 
(such as a string) then the "if" statement passes, but it doesn't. It's simple 
enough to reproduce:

  if "atoehu"
    echom "pass"
  else
    echom "fail"
  endif

Always echo's: "fail".

Is the bug in the doc, vim, or in my head? I have version 7.2.106.

Cheers,
David
