ifCvar
NewJK / NewMod
Tests a cvar against conditions in order and executes the command belonging to the first match. Conditions support literal string equality; numeric $=, $!=, $>, $<, $>= and $<= comparisons; $contains; $beginswith/$startswith; $endswith; $else; and values read from another cvar with a leading $. The argument count includes the command itself.
