This sounds okay to me.

How would this work with an array?

Another question:
At present some conditionals are defined in pmwiki.php, others can be
added as localisations in config.php. Why are the definitions in the
core? Could they equally well be in stdmarkup.php, where (:if ...:)
markup is defined? This would keep the core leaner.
