Syntactic extension in Scheme
It is dead simple to add a syntactic extension to Scheme. The following is an if version without the else block.
(define-syntax iff
(syntax-rules ()
[(_ predicate arg)
(if predicate arg #f)]))
> (iff true "GG")
"GG"
> (iff false "GG")
#f
Of course, you can achieve the same effect using and syntactic core form
> (and true "GG")
"GG"
> (and false "GG")
