I would like to be able to specify conditionals in match_replace() strings. So, say I have a suffix I want to add to the string, but only if a value in the supplied data is TRUE.

Example usage:

Say we want to replace a string that has a name, followed but an active indicator.

$users= [
  [ 'name' => 'Joe Smith', 'active' => true ],
  [ 'name' => 'Jane Boots', 'active' => false ]
];

foreach($users as $user)
  echo match_replace('{{name}} {{?active:>(Active)}}', $users) . "\n";

This will output:

Joe Smith (Active)
Jane Boots

This will require two updates:

Output modifier > that will cause the defined plain text to be output directly.
The ? check modifier that will test the defined value and only output if it evaluates TRUE.
