I have chosen to delete this piece because it would have made this PR more complicated and verbose. To get an idea, I would have had to make a discussion on whether the IfCondition is an expression or not, I would have had to explain the lowering when IfCondition is not expression etc.

Can we not merge spec changes before the actual changes ?

[RazvanN7]

If you merge dlang/dmd#12246 right away, then this is no longer an issue :P . Just kidding, I was actually wondering what is the policy on this. Should the spec PR be merged when the new version is released or after the PR makes it to master?
