Learned several things from this video! Much appreciated!

Some very useful info Alister, thank you. When did we need to start adding the parent class name to the uses clause ? I can't believe no one has commented here !

IfThen functions are not very helpfull, because both True and False argument expressions are evaluated before choice is made. For example, the following code will fail: IfThen(MyObject nil, MyObject.X, -1); By the same reason, the performance is not equivalent to language 'if' statement. Also, as shown, the function is restricted to predefined overloads (strings and numbers). So, I'm personally never use it. Solution is to make the function **intrinsic**, which will allow to improve all mentioned aspects, and will allow to have a real analog of "a?b:c" operator of c-style languages.

I like your approach and I hope to improve my ability with those tricks. Actually, I'm doing some similar classes to process human-like commands, I mean, most friendly commands for humans.
