Comment(by dherington):

 I'd like to lobby against using `cond` as the magic name of the function.
 I don't like preempting such a useful (and commonly used) name.  (Plus,
 for those of us who know Lisp, we'd expect `cond` to have a different
 type, probably `[(Bool, a)] -> a -> a`.)  I would suggest `if_then_else`.
