LOLCODE Recommendation v1.0

IZ <cond>[?]
  [YARLY]
    <statements>
  [NOWAI
    <statements>]
KTHX

This is the recommended syntax for conditional statements (which are made up of conditinal operators). Note that the ? is optional, as is the YARLY… but the ?, if present, must be in the same statement as the conditional, while the YARLY must be its own statement. The same goes for NOWAI: it has to be its own statement. The NOWAI is equivalent to the else construct, and is only optional if there is no false branch for the conditional. All IZ blocks must have a matching kthx.
