My knee-jerk reaction to the former was "Eeww, the users is forced
to keep verbosely typing unnecessarily '%(', ')%(then)' forever,
only because the implementor was too lazy to do the job properly in
parse_atom()". I do not think the latter a good idea at all.
But I think the former is worth considering, as it will later allow
us to extend it to various forms, e.g.
%(if:notempty)%(atom)%(then)...%(end)
%(if)%(atom)%(then)...%(elif)%(atom1)%(atom2)%(then)...%(end)
Two points being
(1) the default "string is not empty" does not have to be the only
test criteria, by leaving the door to add %(if:<condition>)
later;
(2) what is tested does not have to be a single atom (that is why
I do not think the one without %(then) good at all) but can be
a string that can later be interpreted.
And syntactically, something like this even may want to be
introduced later:
%(if:expr)master == %(refname:short)%(then)...%(end)
