Me too.  But what names to use?  Howard's names for 'IF'
don't make it so clear what the meaning of the parameters
is.  Maybe 'If' would do?

Or if we are feeling very brave, how about something like
   #define If whatever<
   #define Then , 
   #define Else ,
   #define End >::type
so that instead of the inscrutable
   typedef If<flag, type1, type2>::type my_type;
we can write
   typedef
      If flag Then
         type1
      Else
         type2
      End
   my_type;

And Howard thought he was getting punchy!
