I'm pretty sure there's an earlier version of that but I don't feel
like bothering to track it down.

The syntax there is ugly but I think .if ${ISTRUE:(${FOO})} or even
.if ${ISTRUE(${FOO})} (no colon) would be workable.

It can probably even be implemented without major carnage, but I'd
much rather clean house first.
