//              statement

//              true_statement
//          ]
//          .else_
//          [
//              false_statement
//          ]
//
//      where condition is an lambda_functor that evaluates to bool. If condition
//      is true, the true_statement (again an lambda_functor) is executed
//      otherwise, the false_statement (another lambda_functor) is executed. The
//      result type of this is void. Note the trailing underscore after
//      if_ and the the leading dot and the trailing underscore before
//      and after .else_.
