Coincidentally I stumbled upon the fact, that statements may also carry 
information with them, which gets lost on resorting to the keywords 
provided by the given language.

I first noticed that when reading about the twixt-keyword of the nickle 
system
  http://nickle.org/tutorial/x671.html#AEN706
which gives the generic if-keyword an additional meaning.

After this detection my mental habit to resort conditions to the if-
keyword started to crumble.
