this wouldn't work in the current codecompletion of t3editor, since we 
don't parse the expression on the right side. therefore you won't get a 
context sensitive help popup if you type "if."

i think martins approach is pretty cool, would stick to this, and it 
would be fully supported by the codecompletion. don't know how important 
this is to you, but i think we should care about it- typoscript is still 
one of the top reasons typo3 newcomers tear their hair out :)
