Down that path lies ambiguity though.
If you had
 actionSymbol := aBoolean ifTrue: #doThis else: #doThat.
do you want the symbol assigned, or performed?
Please don't add so much dwimmery here. Â I like it that Smalltalk is fairly strict with these basic forms.
what dwimmery you talking about? b := [ 15 ]. a := [ 16 ]. true ifTrue: a ifFalse: b 16 as well as: b := 15 . a := 16 . true ifTrue: a ifFalse: b 16 works well. In this way, answer := process ifNotNil: #terminate. should be equivalent to: answer := process notNil ifTrue: #terminate but not to: answer := process notNil ifTrue: [ process terminate ].
