proper 'if'

What (if anything) does MUMPS proper have for 'if'?

'if'.

There's two different types of if constructs, and it's awful, the older one is with a dot syntax.

What's a dot syntax, you may ask? Well, for each level of the if you just prefix a dot:

Makes you want to stab your eyes out. Note also that the comments need to have a dot prefixed as well. That bit me before.
