Wrong question - wwhy if iis iif ? :)

I'm not 100% sure but my guess is that it's to align with other languages that define conditional expressions using iif (to avoid syntactic ambiguity with the if statement). I agree it should be just if but it's a process question whether we can change it at this point.
Brian Postlethwaite (Jul 29 2018 at 11:32):
Yup, that's where it came from Bryn, and didn't get challenged.
Bryn Rhodes (Jul 29 2018 at 20:17):
I'd be in favor of changing it to just if
Brian Postlethwaite (Jul 29 2018 at 23:23):
I wouldn't be against it.
