- If you mean the Branch arrow, that's still there. It's mostly
- in chapters 5 & 6, where it was in IS 8485. For example, section 6.1.6 on
- statement analysis mentions it.
-
- If you mean things like if-then-else, and such, they aren't intended
- to be there. I'm not aware of any APL implementations that include them, and
- I don't recall proposals for them.
