This is a nice idea and indeed a possible solution to the problem.
However, I think it's probably too restricted to cover all aspects
people were discussing here.

No. :-)

After reading this thread I think the best solution is to define a new
request, for example `.ifx' (`if' extended).  Then it would be
straightforward to define a new, flexible syntax that is not hampered
by backwards compatibility.
