Not having spotted that particular flame war, may I ask whether this would 
be interpreted as:

    	<expr> if <condition> else <expr>

or

    	<condition> if <expr> else <expr>

The first one would seem more intuitive except for the else part. The 
second one is obviously wrong (condition before the if), but would probably 
be expected by C programmers.
