Being a db-oriented person,
I use sql standard conditional constructs
both IF and CASE expressions on daily basis.

It is definitely not rocket-science support stuff.
But it'd sure help some people maintain routine stuff
in business app, most specifically people who try to
use python  as a server-script engine à la ASP, PHP.

Any feedback from the PSP (and AL) user community...
