IF commands

Would be VERY useful to allow IF commands in Start Script and Ending Script.
Also to add another IF commands like {IF CurrentTOOL=0}
I'm wondering what IF commands are already available? and is there a way to allow them in Start Script and Ending Script?

I really would like to see IF-THEN-ELSE as well. This would make the software be able to go through a decision tree, and make the printer do certain specific actions.
Something like: IF first layer = true , THEN always retract, ELSE only retract when crossing open spaces.

That would actually be in the Layer Change script, and I'd like to see that too.

Thanks for the great feedback, everyone!
The current IF statements that you can use are present in the
Tool Change Scripts.

You could use scripts like this to have different tool change retract distances for different tools
{IF NEWTOOL=0}G1 E10 F1800 - similar to the above command, however it checks the new tool (the one that will be active after the tool change)

I would like to see universal IF statement support for all scripts. That would be very useful. I ran into a lot of use cases for this.
Edit: as S3D-Taylor states below, this already is supported. The old syntax supported by Tool Change scripts doesn't work for the other scripts. I need to use the updated syntax, which is working great for all scripts including the Tool Change scripts.

Already responded here:

IF statements does work, the syntax just needs to be updated to:
{IF "1+1==2"}
