A TeX Problem with \send and \ifeven
\input basic
\open 0=test.tmp
\send 0{\ifeven0{even}\else{odd}}
\send 0{\setcount0 \count0\ifeven0{even}\else{odd}}
done
\par\vfill\end

The following is the output.

\ifeven 0{even}\else{odd}
\setcount 0 2\ifeven 0{even}\else{odd}

This first isn't very useful.  The second is the circumvention I suppose.
Another use of \evaldef?  The following, however, won't work:

\ifeven0{\send0{even}}\else{\send0{odd}}
