"if object" works but its a trivial example. in more complex scenarios
like:
if you_are_happy? && object a&& object.is_feeling_funky?
object.do_something
end
Sure it works...but it loses its meaning. The less mental translation
i need to make the better...code should be easy to read. the implicit
behavior of "if object" in many contexts is not sufficient.
