[Gretl-devel] one-line if conditions

Hi, sorry, here's again one of my crazy syntactic sugar ideas: I think it would be nice if hansl had a more concise way of writing a basic if-endif block, where the thing to be executed is just a single line. In other languages, this would be (AFAIK): C: if (<condition>) <execution> ; Bash: if <condition> ; then <execution> fi Python: if <condition> :  <execution> So "every" language has such convenient one-liners (OK, it seems Matlab doesn't have it). I know hansl has the ternary expression (<condition> ? <resultTRUE> : <resultFALSE>), but this always has an else branch in it. Don't know whether using : or ; would be better for hansl in this context. Perhaps a new keyword "iffi" could be used to signal this construct to gretl / to the parser. Obviously extremely non-urgent, but for a while I've had the feeling that hansl code is quite a bit longer than it would have to be. thanks sven
