#famousIf broken ?!

Using a #famousIf with HeaderFooterLayout to show/hide e.g. the header on some condition throws an error. Using other layouts the same e.g. BoxLayout.

In the examle the #famousIf is commented out

Weird, I was actually just thinking about this yesterday.

#famousIf was designed to be used inside a sequenceable view (i.e. any view with a .sequenceFrom() method). It's purpose was to make sure that if the condition changed, it's contents would be inserted into the right place.

But I was thinking just yesterday (actually after looking at the useraccounts code) that it should also work for a node that just has an add() method, to show/hide a single child. It's actually on my TODO list. So yeah, situations like this will be working soon... for now you can use a regular if as long as once something is added, it never needs to be removed, and there's no else, or it never changes. Yeah, some fun conditions, and amazingly, it's never come up before :)

in master, will be in next release. not 100% sure when that will be, there have been a few changes which I want to make sure don't break anything before next release (like the nextTick stuff).
