Subject: [pcgen_experimental] [FREQ] OS expansion of IIF to check GAMEMODE

I'm looking for an expansion of the IIF token for like
IIF(GAMEMODE = "Modern")
{whatever}
ENDIF

This will allow us to _easily_ keep base.xml in _one_ file, and remove
the errors like ACType that isn't defined....

I did a similar thing with the Pathfinder CMB stuff by checking for a
VAR (since Patfhinder's CMB stuff is getting set up with VARs), but
not know all the GameModes, and with several GameModes using the Var
"ClassDefense", I can't use that to check for Modern Gamemode.

This is my first forray into actually proposing a complex OS token, so
if I'm a bit off on the syntax structure of it IIFNode stuff, not a
problem.  I just want to be able to check for GameMode somehow. :)

Personally I think this would work better as a jep function isGameMode
or something similar - that way it is not just restricted to if
statements in output sheets.

Cheers,
James.

I'm going to change the title for release - isgamemode() is also useful in
PREVAR checking, etc. :P

We'll need documentation as well.  I'll open a FReq for that.

Thanks, James.
