Boolean if CodeBlock pattern is confusing

[rrezel]

Wouldn't it be better to call this operation then? So
<boolean> then <codeblock>
and
<boolean> then <codeblock>, else <codeblock>

if what?

<boolean> ifTrue: <codeblock> ifFalse: <codeblock>

<boolean> ifTrue: <codeblock> 

<boolean> ifFalse: <codeblock>

(n == 2) if This is bizarre. Why are you using your language strangeness budget on something that is no shorter and a good deal less obvious what it's doing (you have to finish reading the line before you learn the most important piece of information about the line). if n == 2 would be much better.
