In Symbolics Rel 7.1, Commonloops January 29 release:
I know CLtL [Steele] specifies that IF forms only have 3 arguments, but
in Symbolics rel 7.1, you may have as many ELSE clauses as you want.
Here's a weird bug where a PCL slot is found as long as it's one of the
first 3 arguments in an IF form, but not after that.
The next version of PCL will complain (vociferously) if you use more
than 3 arguments to if inside of a with-slot or with-accessors form.
You will have to use only three arguments to if but at least you will
get a warning when you use more than three.
