Comment #1 on issue 488 by pekka.klarck: Simpler conditional execution
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=488

We have decided to avoid adding any more new syntax to the framework. There are many
reasons (in no particular order):

1) Making the framework more complex is not good for average user.
2) New syntax should also be supported by RIDE and other supporting tools.
3) We don't even want to make the data syntax fully featured programming language -
it's much better to use test libraries instead.
4) It's often, like in this case, possible to get the same thing done using other means.

In your example case a much cleaner solution would be having a keyword `Close Possible Dialog`. You could already now implement it as a user keyword, but adding
something like that to the SwingLibrary could be a good idea too.

I'll close this as WontFix. If you want to discuss this further, please send a mail
to the NSN internal devel list and I can explain the reasoning better.
