Python isn't *strictly* or *exclusively* an object-oriented
programming language, but since it does have strong support for OOP

Years ago there was an interesting movement called anti-if campaign, now
it's more promotional, but the concept of "anti if" may help you find ways
to remove the cases where your suggest "and if" and "or if" can apply.

I'd like to see the ability to do:
if x:
1
and if y:
2
or if z:
3
The truth table for these would be:
x | y | z | result
0 | _ | 0 | (none)
0 | _ | 1 | 3
1 | 0 | _ | 1,3
1 | 1 | _ | 1,2,3
and each statement is evaluated once, when encountered. (as such, y and
z may not be evaluated at a
