Hi José! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I understand that adding all `*_if` functions wouldn't be so nice on the API.
Regarding `then_if`, I think it solves the problem and can be applied to other situations, so I feel it's a better enhancement! Would you be interested in adding it to the language?
