I'm opposed to this. We already have if--then--else.

This is implemented by defstruct.lisp which is already in share/contrib.
However there were problems with the defstruct stuff so it didn't get
merged into src/. We should take another look at that and clear up
any remaining problems.
e.g.
load (defstruct);
[a, b, c] : [1, x, sin(y)];
values;
=> [a, b, c]
[a, b, c];
=> [1, x, sin(y)]

Yes, this is a good idea.
