Hey, Simon —

with your additions you're addressing lots of problems I'm facing right

I'm solving similar problems.  :)  Happy to share.

I'd very much like to see this in the core, is there a chance?

That comes down to how TiddlyWiki's architects feel about it.  Previous 
discussions about $if widgets like the one here concluded that they would 
likely be redundant with $reveal.  For my part, though, I see $if playing a 
fairly different role:  Lightweight, value-oriented and $list-like as 
compared to the feature-rich, state-oriented $reveal widget...  The $else 
widget is something else entirely, with its unusual sibling-based behavior.

Anyway, I'll be interested to see how this flies with Jeremy and the 
others.  Keep an eye out for bugs.
