I've proposed a naive implementation of partially-evaluated
conditionals. I don't doubt that bright people have come up with
better systems. However, those people don't seem to be on our
mailing list.
The naive proposal should be compared more to the existing
implementation, which is not just naive, but painful and obnoxious
besides, than to systems with no implementation in sight.
