Comment(by simonpj):
Sam, you've taken ownership -- great! Before invsting time in
implementing something, do please sketch the design you propose to
implement.
I strongly suggest treating if-then-else exactly like other rebindable
syntax, and ''not'' the type-cless stuff that vivian suggested. (A user
can always import an overloaded `cond`.)
There's also the minor but important issue of what to call the rebindable
identifier: `cond` or `ifThenElse`. I don't feel strongly.
Simon
