I have found the idioms of common-lisp and scheme around
true and false and the empty list BOTH GOOD.
But also very different.
Like common-lisp does what you usually want, but scheme
is more logically consistent. Scheme makes me happier
to be more functional, like I use when and unless less in
scheme because the functional idiom is to always return
something. (what does "when" return on a true argument?)
I am liking scheme especially after using common-lisp, and
the cool thing is i assume the opposite would be true as well.

@pkw but when returns unspecified if it fails, i find it incomprehensible, bonkers, nuts! :)
