   Odd, I'm a native English speaker, and I think "if this, do that"
   is very natural as well.

what is so odd about it?  i'm a native `english' speaker, and *both*
are natural to me.
   
   Of course, in other languages, "this if, that do" is natural,
   should we also support that sort of thing?

depends if larry speaks those languages or not.. ;-)
