While I agree with Michael I don't agree with you. We already have "&" which is used for two purposes: - binary numbers - escaping keywords The &if would merely be an application of the latter which already works since AFAIK 2.4.0. Also you can't have "&if" in C-code as C does not allow you to escape identifiers. And an address of an if statement is also not possible. Regards, Sven
