Assuming that the dates in that ticket refer to 2021 (I see only months and
days, not years), I don't recall any discussion taking place with the
community about it, so that seems to me like a surprising explanation.
After all, if GotoIf(), ExecIf() and While() are "deemed to be of interest",
and therefore exist, why would a simple If() be deemed not to be of interest?
And, taking it from the other point of view, even if many people genuinely
think "meh, I don't think I'd use this", then surely they just avoid using it,
as I suspect the majority of people do with DumpChan() (for example, to take a
pretty obscure, yet still available, command at random).
In short, what's the drawback to making If() available for those who would use
it?
Personally, I would very much like to see an If() statement made available.
Antony.
