Me three.

Also I was glad to see you also have a reflex of defining

(I usually name my version "ifthenelse" - I like the conciseness of yours, but 
I studied logic some decades ago, so for me "iff" is already a word, and it 
means something different - if and only if.)

I don't we think should be proposing fundamental additions to the language 
very often, but this is such a useful one that I think it should be considered.

What do you think?
