Ok - to illustrate how useful this would be - here is how it could be used
with the new syntax:
Dim myRef As myClass
if myRef FROM getA() <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
elseif myRef FROM getB() <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
elseif myRef FROM getC() <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
end if
1 * IF
2 * ELSEIF
1 * END IF
TOTAL = 4 lines for the branching
And here is how this would have to be written in RB currently:
Dim myRef As myClass
myRef = getA()
if myRef <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
Else
myRef = getB()
if myRef <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
else
myRef = getC()
if myRef <> nil then
.. do something with myRef
end if
end if
End if
3 * if
2 * else
3 * end if
TOTAL = 8 lines for the branching.
The forner is much clearer in meaning.
