Unfortunately, the trick from the docs (chapter 4.2.12) using "case ... then" does not work inside an "if" statement (the "then" of the "case" is interpreted as belonging to the "if" and thus leads to a syntax error).

I think if you use parentheses you can avoid the syntax error:
Ah, I didn't know that parentheses are allowed here. (And I must admit I didn't try.) Nonetheless, I think it would improve readability to have an extra operator for this.
