## cond
Basis Function Combinator
This combinator works like a case statement. It expects a single quote
on the stack that must contain zero or more condition quotes and a
default quote. Each condition clause should contain a quoted predicate
followed by the function expression to run if that predicate returns
true. If no predicates return true the default function runs.
It works by rewriting into a chain of nested [ifte]{.title-ref}
expressions, e.g.:
[[[B0] T0] [[B1] T1] [D]] cond
-----------------------------------------
[B0] [T0] [[B1] [T1] [D] ifte] ifte
