Abstract
Like an ordinary AND, a LAND* special form evaluates its arguments - expressions - one after another in order, until the first one that yields #f. Unlike AND, a non-#f result of one expression can be found to a fresh variable and used in the subsequent expressions. LAND* can be thought of as a combination of LET* and AND, or a generalization of COND's send operator. A LAND* form can also be considered a sequence of guarded expressions.
