Conditionally apply modifier in SwiftUI

Essentially, I'm back to generic vs specific here. I want to be able to treat all modifiers in the same way as bits of standard code rather than having a bunch of different special cases.

A modifier is really a View that has the modified View as its child, and is thus part of the view hierarchy. SwiftUI intentionally embeds the structure of your view hierarchy into your program’s types for reasons Joe explained in this thread.
