Gee, no sooner have you said that something is a not a good idea but someone wants to play with it.

No complaints from Stata:
*************
cap pr drop myprog
pr myprog
vers 11
syntax [if] [in], if(string)
di in r "Content of if: `if'"
end
myprog, if(hello)
*************

I don't think there is any rule against an option called -if()-. However, a programmer would have a hard time supporting -if- and -if()- together and it would generally be considered Bad Style.

That should read
factor wbq91-wbq93 if year == 2005, factors(1)
Remember that -if- is never an option and should thus
appear before the ","
