OK, at that point it just get down to a matter of subjective
preference.  I personally find the second version far more explicit
and understandable.  I guess in C, x?y:z isn't usually convertable
to (x&&y)||z, but the comparable expression in Lisp would be
(or (and x y) z).  One occasionally sees that, however
(if x y z) or (cond (x y) (t z)) is generally preferable.
