Sometimes I find myself writing code like this:

(defn magnify [n] (if (pos? n) (inc n) (dec n)))

...and I want to get rid of all those "n"s. I've looked for a macro like 
this, but couldn't find it, so I wrote it:

https://gist.github.com/jamesmacaulay/4993062

Using that, I could re-write the above like this:

(def magnify (iffn pos? inc dec))

I can imagine a condfn macro, too:

(def magnify2 (condfn pos? inc
                      neg? dec
                      :else identity)

Has this kind of conditional function composition been explored much? I 
couldn't find anything like it in the standard library, but maybe I wasn't 
looking hard enough.

Cheers,
James
