[rules-dev] 'if' in guided editor

[Michael Neale]

no, it was just to be different. It can be anything. It can be

"wassup" or something ;)

Not sure if that explanation has any real meaning, I mean it makes a point,
but "when" actually implies to me that it is slightly temporal (ie "when"
means it will happen, at some point in time, where as "if" means it may or
may not happen - neither of which are procedural/imperative).

I think its ok to say IF, as people still say "if/then" for production
rules, its not really confusing - perhaps we need another way to explain
imperative versus declarative.
