(while some-thing do)

(unless not-some-thing do)

(if something
    do-this <- `progn' here if >1
  else-do-that-1
  else-do-furthermore-this-2
  ...
  alright-done-n)

sometimes one can put useful things there, e.g. `let', and
avoid using progn for this reason

Yeah, progn is imbecile, almost. only, for some reason, prog1
is cool, and prog2 is weird.

(if t 1 2 3 4) ; 1
