I'm personally indifferent to elif vs elsif vs elseif, but I think elseif was the consensus.

I already broke out argument reading to it's own function, knowing that it'd be the stub for expressions. So I guess we start that now. What subset of true-ish values do you think we should support? If we think that real expressions are possible soon, we could only allow 'true' and 'false' for now, but if we expect that expressions might not make it into v10, then perhaps we should support the same text values that coerce to booleans on the server side. > > 2: encountered \else after \else ...
