if then else otherwise ...

[raptor]

hi,

we have <=> and 'cmp' operators but we don't have the conditional constroct
to use better their result :
May be forthcomming switch will solve this in some way, but isn't it better
to have shortcut like this :

if (cond)
{ }
else {}
otherwise {}


i.e.
if cond == 1  then  'then-block'
if cond == 0  then  'else-block'
if cond == -1  then  'otherwise-block'

If the "if" construct doesn't have "otherwise" it behave like the current
"if-else"..
