I prefer (and use as well!) the following:
(IF <test> <thing to do if true> <thing to do if false>)
If I wish to do more than one thing in one case or the other then I will
write a COND, that is what COND does best. But for the simple case I prefer
the simple form. This is the way the currently installed IF macro works
on the Lisp Machine.
