if/else is not advanced in any way, please name a programming language from 
the last 20 years (excluding assembly languages, joke languages and languages 
deigned for low memory devices) that doesn't have else.

If you look at the templates that come with Zope itself you'll find many 
places where people are actually doing if/else, see my email to Tino 
Wildenhain for examples.

Just for the record, I don't think any of the suggested ways of doing this are 
particularly nice but some are not so bad and some are better than what you 
can currently find in the Examples.zexp supplied with Zope
