I based it on daijs "３ （「かって」の形で）反語の意を表す。「こんなまずい
もの食えるか―」「だれが言うことを聞くか―」"
but irony was probably a poor translation for "反語", maybe 
this is better?

I'd struggle to come up with one. I see Daijisen has "こんなまずいもの食えるか", which is more commonly seen as "こんなまずいもん食えるか" - from the examples around of that passage it's anything but ironical.

Please add an example of って illustrating [3][prt]  [as かって]  indicates 
irony. I could not find one anywhere. Thank you very much.

daijs:
"３ （「かって」の形で）反語の意を表す。「こんなまずいもの食えるか―」「だれが言
うことを聞くか―」

４ 自分の気持ちを主張する意を表す。「そんなこと知ってる―」「わかってるよ、もう言う
な―」→たって〔接助〕"

Hi, I understand that って can also be a sentence-final particle with a similar meaning to よ.

eij:
"「どうして先生に抗議しないの？」「そんなことしたって内申書にキズがつくだけだよ」
Why don't you protest against the teacher?" "It will only 
leave a black mark on my record."
"おい、怒鳴るのはやめろよ！そんなことしたって、この子は泣き止まないぞ。
Hey, don't yell at him. That won't make him stop crying."

Well spotted. I've preliminarily copied the gloss from the -
ば entry, though the usage seems a lot more restricted. 
Daijs doesn't gloss it as a conditional but like some kind 
of a topic marker: ”２ 相手の質問・命令・依頼などを受けて、それを話題とし
て示す意を表す。…と言われても。「今さら変更する―、急に困るね」「どうするか―、
決まってるだろ」”
Daij also have quite a few more senses (7 in daijr, 8 in 
daijs).

Hi, my understanding is that in certain contexts ～って can signify a conditional.

Makino & Tsutsui DBJG P 510.

Since Makino & Tsutsui say it's simply a colloquial version of と, it's probably best to reference that.

No change to the above.
It may help to have a cross-link with the following in order to obviate the need for a fresh search to find what the main entry is short for, i.e., [note="abbr for というのは]:-

ってのは (exp) (See って) means; is; as for

Also, with regard to the note "and other similar combinations", I am wondering whether that loose comment can be firmed up with proper links.

No comment, so I'll close this off, and add it to というのは.

I'm quite comfortable adding ってのは to the dictionary, but I suspect it should be added to the と言うのは entry rather than here.
I've been looking through the usage of ってのは and というのは in the examples in GG5 (there are quite a few of each), and I'm starting to suspect there is a different nuance with ってのは.

I did not want to amend the above, but often in text [as demonstrated by the mass of results on Google] "ってのは" is used in much the same way as the above and, in context, equals "というのは". Your [A] references also show quite a few examples. Could "ってのは" be included in this entry to assist the searcher? One piece of text which I was reading was "一人っきりってのは". Helpfully, you have the first part [一人っきり], but not the last part.

If I am in the wrong road on this one, then a correct entry would be very helpful.
