Mat, Thank you! Well yes a dictionary tiddler can be used. I have used such a solution in my recent plugin Tamasha. I also implement the switch-case using your proposed solution. Really powerful.
By the way, there are situations where the operands are not constant. I just tried to see how I can implement a multi step IF. But I was not sure if my solution follows a good programming style or not!
