-1 too.
(1) In order to do short-circuiting evaluation, the name would have to
be recognized by the parser, which means it would have to be a new
keyword. None of these keywords sound attractive.
(2) It looks too much like a function call for my comfort.
I still like
(if cond then expr else expr)
better than any of these.
