      leave x unchanged.  So don't even think about this one!

+     Another variant proposes to use 'when' instead of 'if':
+ 
+         <expression1> when <condition> else <expression2>
+ 
+     I don't see the advantage of 'when' over 'if'; it adds a new
+     keyword which is a major extra hurdle to introduce this.  I think
+     that using a different keyword suggests that the semantics are
+     different than those of an 'if' statement; but they really aren't
+     (only the syntax is different).
