Why do you want to support odd number of params after `expr`?

How would you expect this to work:

(iif expr :then :else) -> ???

I don't know what the implementation of multi-if looks like but the odd
number of args after expr doesn't seem right to me.

One last question; why are the branching code named/as a map? Why not
(defmacro iif [expr then else]) which is equal to if or course?

(if (> 3 1) nil nil) -> nil
(if (< 5 3) nil 'ok) -> 'ok

...and so on.
