IF changes in Open Formula - 6.15.4 - applied but have questions

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Greetings!

Picking up issues from Michael's typo list and just applied changes to
IF in OpenFormula, but have questions:

1) Trivial - I assume Condition is always written with upper-case C? I
ask because the proposal has it both ways. I used upper-case C.

2) "This function only evaluates either IfTrue or IfFalse, and never
both; that is to say, it short-circuits." Is that correct?

I ask because a truth function is always either T or F, but that isn't
because it "short circuits."

I seem to remember that "short circuit" means if I have F or T values,
then evaluation stops at F, there is no need to evaluate the next term. Yes?

So should I change that to read:

"This function only evaluates either IfTrue or IfFalse."

3) after the list of the cases, ifTrue is always 0, until we reach the
last line:

"If there are 3 parameters but the third parameter is null (semicolon
but no IfFalse, cases d and f), IfFalse is considered to be 0."

I assume that means ifTrue is considered to be 1 in the last case?

Yes?

So, unless it is customary, why are we switching back and forth on the
value of ifTrue?

Thanks!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Patrick

PS: Pending your comments, except for the uppercase C for Condition, I
applied the resolution as written.
