Branches

Description

There are no builtin branch instructions in the Funky language.

Branch "instructions" are functions that are supplied some form of condition and two or more functions. Based upon the evaluation of the condition, one of the supplied functions is called.

The basic branch instructions of the standard library use polymorphic dispatch on the truth values std::true and std::false to implement std::if and std::if_not.

More complex branches like std::cond or std::case use std::if to check their conditions.
