That's what i mean, scheme makes me not want to use "when" or "unless".
To me the scheme idiom points out that almost always "if"
is what you want. (with both clauses filled in)
I've been meaning to track this down, what does when/unless
return in common-lisp? (on the negative clause)

@pkw ah sorry i misread your sentence about using when/unless less. elsewhere in thread i wondered why guile when doesn't return false, rather than unspecified.

@pkw i find i have to write ifs with else's like '(), am i holding it wrong?
