#' @title A general vectorised if-else
#' @description DataSHIELD implementation of \code{dplyr::case_when}.
#' @param tidy_expr A list containing a sequence of two-sided formulas:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item The left hand side (LHS) determines which values match this case.
#'   \item The right hand side (RHS) provides the replacement value.
#'   \item The LHS inputs must evaluate to logical vectors.
#'   \item The RHS inputs will be coerced to their common type.
#'   }
#'   All inputs will be recycled to their common size. We encourage all LHS inputs to be the same size.
#'   Recycling is mainly useful for RHS inputs, where you might supply a size 1 input that will be
#'   recycled to the size of the LHS inputs. NULL inputs are ignored.
#' @param .default The value used when all of the LHS inputs return either FALSE or NA.
#' @param .ptype An optional prototype declaring the desired output type. If supplied, this overrides the common type of true, false, and missing.
#' @param .size An optional size declaring the desired output size. If supplied, this overrides the size of condition.
#' @param newobj Character specifying name for new server-side data frame.
#' @param datasources datashield connections object.
#' @return No return value, called for its side effects. A vector with the same size as the common
#' size computed from the inputs in \code{tidy_expr} and the same type as the common type of the
#' RHS inputs in \code{tidy_expr} is created on the server.
