Not too bad, despite losing much of the beautifully condensed power of
the original, when used.
I'd still want to be able to generate a title which has no link,
though. Add an ex:if-not-exists test, and we're there, or, better
still, something along the lines of the case construct, but
implementing the LISP "cond" construct instead, i e:
(cond ((eq name "Johan") (take some action))
((is-after year 2000) (some other action))
(t (otherwise))
...testing one condition at a time until it finds a true one, or going
with the final option.
