I'm not sure what you mean --- other programming languages I know don't have two different kinds of 'if's and the irregularities involved with that. That's where an expectation that an 'if' should always be an 'if' and that the syntax of the same keyword should always be the same comes from. > This is sort of a p5p question but the above might cut this off at the > knees (or better show a gap that needs to be filled).
