I guess the "or else" statement should do this: <condition> or else <threat> where the statement <threat> is executed if the statement <condition> evaluates to false. In absence of an explicit threat <condition> or else it should raise IntimidationError if <condition> evaluates to false false. If <condition> evaluates to true it should just return <conditon>.
