The "if then" construct is really confusing. "if then" is a statement, not an expression.Yup, you are old fashioned :). maybe is good idea to discuss "it then else" expression in dedicated thread "if-then-else expression". conclusion of this thread: *the best new name for "IfThen intrinsic" is iif*
I have no problem with this conclusion, I use IIF() since years. It exists in many other languages/tools, so it makes sense to use that. To my knowledge it has no conflicts with existing unit identifiers in code we distribute.
