OR operator in If Defined

It would nice to have an OR operator, so you could check whether or not several tags were defined, and ommit content or show something alternative.

Example:

<!--@If Defined(News:Manchet || News:FirstXChar)-->
    <div class="myStyledBox">
        <!--@News:Manchet--><!--@News:FirstXChar--> &hellip;</p>
    </div>
<!--@EndIf(News:Manchet || News:FirstXChar)-->

Without the OR (||) operator, it will print out a styled textbox and an ellipsis, regardless if there is any text or not. I would rather have, that it didn't print out anything, to make for a cleaner layout. One could also imagine a case, where I wanted to show some alternative content, say "if not this or this, show something different entirelly.

Good suggestion.

I have it noted to implement these features in the if engine:

OR (||)
AND (&&)
ELSE

This would only be part of the new if engine, http://templates.dynamicweb-cms.com/TemplateTags/Dynamicweb-template-tags/General-tags/If-statements.aspx

Are these additions still in the pipeline? When can we start using the new if-engine?
