Elegant yes, I also implemented if/else/elsif and most other keywords as
compiler or RT (runtime library) methods in p2.
But for p5 this does not help us in reaching macros as subs are the complete
opposite of macros. If there is a compiler mechanism not to evaluate the
sub args, then okay.
How do you know about Zefram plans?
