It sure would be nice to have If/Else/EndIf, While, etc… control in the macro language.

projected (and worked on) flow control constructs are:
if … endif
if … else … endif
begin … until
begin … again
while … repeat
do … loop
-
in consideration are:
index jump (jump table): vector macro1 macro2 macro3
switch/case

the “projected and in work” flow control statements, with the exception of do .. loop/for .. next, have been added and are considered functional.
hitch: it is possible to hang efte with an endlessly looping macro – no provisions to abort a looping macro have been included yet.
