Comment(by SamAnklesaria):
As there are many libraries that use `if` syntax where a polymorphic
function would not suffice, I've decided to make rebindable syntax only
accessible through a language extension flag (currently named
RebindableIfStatements). While the function `ifThenElse` is a part of the
Prelude regardless, it is not substituted for `if` statements unless
RebindableIfStatements is on.
Is this okay?
