I have considered this argument. I almost never use AIF, ACOND and the

(fn (+ $1 $2)) => (lambda ($1 $2) (+ $1 $2))

Ewww.

I had no idea people would hate that so much. I guess I know now why I
don't see more of it. :^)

For playing around at the REPL, that's a pretty useful macro, but I
would get a little uncomfortable if I saw that in actual source code.
YMMV, I guess.
