IF statements are very handy for the designer, they are always in need
of dynamic elements in a page. Otherwise they'd need to go back to the
developer every time they needed to add/change something.

But what about beyond IF statements? SWITCH/CASE, FOR loops, etc? Is it
just as easy to allow imbedded php code? In our experience with
SmartTemplate for our own applications, the IF statement ability covers
most everything the designer needs.
