N-ary < operator (was What I'd really like to see in an if-statement...)

[Sidney Markowitz]

Common LISP also has an n-ary < operator. Since everything is in
prefix notation in parentheses, it makes it pretty simple to express:
   a < b     is   (< a b)
   a < b < c is   (< a b c)
And it generalizes for any number of operands.

It should be a simple matter of incorporating this kind of generalized
relational operator in some future version of C, simply by switching
from infix to reverse Polish notation. (That's a :-), no flames, please!)
